This has to do with how long you primary and secondary dns servers have been down. Since most dns servers operate a cache it will take awhile for all the correct settings to propagate around the ether world. If they have been down for more than a couple of days I would say your dns server isn't properly registered. To work around this I would assign the ip address of your primary dns server to the third one that is still up if that is possible.

We have three DNS servers registered for our domain. Unfortuantely two of the servers are down and the third one is up and operational. If someone were to do a query for the domain it would fail. If the query was done to the third DNS directly it would succed. Does anybody understand why? david -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
