WTF????

Let's go digging...

==================

;; QUERY SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:

No A record? Ok then...

;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      muncher.math.uic.edu, type = A, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
muncher.math.uic.edu.   29m42s IN A     131.193.178.181

Looks fine, so what happened?

Let's try this again...

;;      list.cr.yp.to, type = MX, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
list.cr.yp.to.          23h58m34s IN MX  10 muncher.math.uic.edu.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
yp.TO.                  23h58m34s IN NS  koobera.math.uic.edu.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
muncher.math.uic.edu.   29m6s IN A      131.193.178.181
koobera.math.uic.edu.   28m24s IN A     131.193.178.247


So the second time I'm getting an A record on the first query?

Interesting...

AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[root@ny root]# dig @uic-dns4.UIC.EDU. muncher.math.uic.edu. a
