I rather suspect those tools don't perform PTR queries at all.

 right

 It does work and it looks great when it works ;-)

 http://www.zonecut.net/dns/index.cgi?domain=128-27.194.238.80.in-addr.arpa

That tool actually only traces delegations (hence the name zonecut,
I guess).  It doesn't look up PTR or any other type of resource
record.  Apparently it applies some rules to the domain name that
causes it to believe that the zone
0/27.77.141.195.in-addr.arpa. doesn't exist.  I don't think that any
name server is at fault here.  You might want to tell the author of
the tool.

 nice version of dig ;-) especially if the last known Snapshot is

 Hello,
 this is my first post. to me swinog seems to be 
 a good list to post my question. 
 please correct me if i'm wrong.

 here's my question:

 On Monday the TTL for www.juraworld.com has 
 been changed to 1h on ns1.lan.ch and ns2.lan.ch.
 Today ist has been changed to 15min as 
 we're getting ready to move servers.

 Yet, dns2.bluewin.ch doesn't reflect this TTL.

How large was the TTL before you changed it on Monday?  Given the
remaining TTL on dns2 of about 20 hours, this result is to be expected
only when the original TTL was at least around 68 hours (20+2*24,
assuming you lowered the TTL at noon on Monday).

 Has anyone an idea how bluewins dns are setup?
 Bluewin support gave me an almost unbelievable answer:
 dns2 is only backup and updated every 14 days from dns1

I don't know what they mean by update.  I sure hope dns2 is up to
date for the zones for which it is authoritative :-)  However, that's
beside the point since your problem is related to caching.

 Hi Alex,
 thanks for your reply.
 I indeed forgot to mention that the original TTL was 24h. 
 So everything should have been as expected since about yesterday.

Yes.  In that case, I don't know why the A RR for www.juraworld.com
is still in the cache of dns2.bluewin.ch.

 I also find it strange that dns2 is giving me all the 
 root-server as glue.

I think that it just didn't happen to have the glue for
juraworld.com. in its cache, so it returned the glue for the
GTLD-servers instead (not the root servers).  After querying it for
the NS records for that domain, it now reports the expected glue (at
least until those records expire)

 SWITCH - nic.ch - a ignorant and stupid organization.
 Well, that's almost anyone that sends access information in cleartext
 mails... the problem is, that there's almost no security mechanism in
 place - I doubt that if switch would provide (and please do) a way to
 submit a gpg-key to get emails encrypted that it would be used by a wide
 userbase anyway... 

And how do you propose to verify the user's key?  This is a BIG can of
worms (can you say PKI?).  Incidentally, there is an Interface
(Batch-Schnittstelle) for wholsale partners that uses PGP
signatures.  This is impossible to do on a large scale.

BTW, don't ask me about this security issue, I'm just working for the

 True,
 before I was able to get the answer-section from this server (was nice
 and fast)... any infos from switch why they changed this ?

The reason for turning off recursion (and that is all that happened:
no improper or unreal answers as you initially suspected but
simply referrals for queries that can't be answered authoritatively)
was to separate the functions of caching server and authoritative
server (it serves 400+ zones).  The host provided both functions for
historical reasons but this is considered to be bad practice nowadays.

However, note that the caching function has never been offered as a
public service and therefore there was no need to officially announce
its removal.  I'm afraid you used it at your own risk.  I know that
others did that too, but there is simply no way for us to even send a
heads-up to those people.
