The problem was caused by a combination of a "search newt.com" directive and a wildcard DNS entry in my zone file.
I've never used wildcards for reasons such as this, but when I recently switched to using Network Solutions's DNS manager, they set up a wildcard record by default and I neglected to delete it. After deleting the wildcard record, the problem I previously described went away. I also set up a local caching-only server using dnsmasq to get around the transient DNS problems I was also having. http://www.newt.com/debian/blog.html#dns-wildcards http://www.newt.com/debian/blog.html#naughty-nameservers Please close this bug report. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
