That may not be not what it appears to be... Joe Jared (who runs Osirusoft) has a very odd view of how to structure his DNS zones, so you pretty much have to hit an authority with a query in the zone to get a rational response. On top of that, an "ANY" query is intrinsically NEVER recursive, and will only retrieve the records present in the servers cache. It's an archaic remnant of when cycles and bandwidth were far more expensive, and DNS servers were much more eager to talk about their zones. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
