Reiner,

is this idle curiosity or business critical?  If the latter, i can
spend some time on it, but if the former, then I'd rather not today!

the upstream of my provider is TATA.

 because 209.88.90.14 is the DNS server for this domain, too.


there is no reverse DNS for this subnet. That is one issue:

pa

I get SFA when I ping that IP:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping 209.88.90.14

Pinging 209.88.90.14 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 209.88.90.14:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

but as you can see, I can not resolve the IP from the hostname:

>ping gta.gov.zw
Ping request could not find host gta.gov.zw. Please check the name and try again

so it is a DNS issue, as well, perhaps as a connectivity issue.

I cannot, unlike Hari, use 8.8.8.8 to get an answer from dig:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dig @8.8.8.8 gta.gov.zw

Nor can I get an answer from the ns that has the SOA:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dig @ns.gta.gov.zw. gta.gov.zw

So you CAN connect (for some value of that word) to that address?

It looks like SEACOM isn't at all involved in the L3 issues on this one.


 not being helpful, who di I contact?

 [email protected], that is in the dig result.

and from robtex:

contact information for gta.gov.zw
[email protected] (responsible for gta.gov.zw)
[email protected] (responsible for gip.net)
[email protected] (responsible for telone.co.zw)
[email protected] (responsible for co.zw)


telone is their upstream AFAICS.
