There shouldn't be any recursion going on as I am querying the authoritive
name servers for the domain... and I don't think they have the IP's
blocked as they would be blocking quite a few different providers (I
tested this on various networks before posting to the list).
I also tested aol.com which is setup very similar to cs.com but aol.com
works as expected.
To all those that suggested dig, yes I use that... I just want to know why
nslookup is not working with this specific domain and authoritive name
server... the error message returned is what is really confusing me...
My guess is misconfiguration somewhere...
