Can you ping the Infocom name servers from your name server? Can
you also run a traceroute from your name server to theirs?

nope..i cannot do that if i dont have a forwarder in my named.conf or that very IP in my resolv.conf

ns# dig +trace infocom.co.ug

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> +trace infocom.co.ug
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_nsend: Operation timed out
 
ns# traceroute infocom.co.ug
traceroute: unknown host infocom.co.ug
ns#

ns# ping infocom.co.ug
ping: cannot resolve infocom.co.ug : Host name lookup failure
ns#

but as soon as i add a forwarder.....i get some joy

ns# traceroute infocom.co.ug
