The initial error, "Unknown host: ... host not found", indicates that the name lookup for foo.bar.com failed, so htdig was unable to obtain an IP address for it. After any failure to connect to a host, htdig marks that host as "dead" for the duration of the dig, so it's not continually trying to recontact a host that is unlikely to respond. That's why for all subsequent requests for this host, it simply states "no server running". The fix is to make sure the server is up and running again, and the name server for its domain name is responding to name lookups properly, then rerun htdig. -- Gilles R.
