[It *seems* that the name servers are PowerDNS machines, hence the message.]
Sourceforge currently experiences DNS problems (they claim it is a DoS, http://sourceforge.net/docs/A04). Names like echoping.svn.sourceforge.net cannot be resolved from most sites (server failure, while you would expect a timeout, from a typical DoS). The behaviour of the authoritative name servers is very funny: they send (immediately) an empty reply, with TC bit set. So, dig retries with TCP: % dig @pdns2.ostg.com. A echoping.svn.sourceforge.net ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> @pdns2.ostg.com. A echoping.svn.sourceforge.net ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached (The server does not accept TCP, it seems.) >From sites where it works, one can see that the response is very small, there is no need to set the TC bit! Any idea? _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
