Seems Rich is using root servers.

Rich - can you not use the same DNS servers that you have in your TCP/IP settings for you PC/Server?

i noticed that when you did the nslookup.. your machine was using a different DNS server. this is from your previous email response:

nslookup
Server:  vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address:  4.2.2.1

So amend your config.xml like so:

<dnsserver>
<servers>
<!-- CONFIRM? -->
<!--Enter ip address of your DNS server, one IP address per server -->
<!-- element. The default configuration assumes a DNS server on the localhost. -->
<server>4.2.2.1</server> </servers>
<authoritative>false</authoritative>
</dnsserver>


And see if that helps?

They are not valid for your purpose, as you can see:


C:\Documents and Settings\noel>nslookup
Default Server:  ns9.attbi.com
Address:  204.127.202.19

> server 216.168.225.173
Default Server:  ns43.worldnic.com
Address:  216.168.225.173

> set q=mx
> yahoo.com
Server:  ns43.worldnic.com
Address:  216.168.225.173

(root)  nameserver = A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
(root)  nameserver = M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

What you want is something like:

> yahoo.com
Server:  [204.127.202.19]
Address:  204.127.202.19

Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com       MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com       MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com       MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com

When you run nslookup, it will start by giving you the address of its
default DNS server.  At the least, you should be able to try that one.
