Did you try to nslookup domain2.com throught all their names servers (the ns list in their whois) ? + through the 2 name servers in your networks configuration ? Has domain2.com ever be a local domain for your own server, in the past ? Did you try to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? ( assuming mail.domain2.com is their MX) Benoit
