Hi, thanks you for your reply. The command ``` ~>dig @f.in-addr-servers.arpa in-addr.arpa DNSKEY +dnssec +tcp +nosplit +norecurse +mult ;; communications error to 193.0.9.1#53: end of file ;; communications error to 193.0.9.1#53: end of file ;; communications error to 193.0.9.1#53: end of file
; <<>> DiG 9.20.13 <<>> @f.in-addr-servers.arpa in-addr.arpa DNSKEY +dnssec +tcp +nosplit +norecurse +mult ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; no servers could be reached ``` fails. For your last command I get back: ``` ~>dig @f.in-addr-servers.arpa. hostname.bind CH TXT +short "ns1.se-sto.authdns.ripe.net" "ns2.pt-lis.authdns.ripe.net" ``` If this is indeed a firewall issue as Jan Komissar suggested then it seems hard to find out which firewall that is :/. That is, I get an "end of file" (it is pretty fast, not a real timeout). Aka, the connection is closed. What packet should can I look at the closes the connection? Will that have the address of the firewall, or address of the root server? I suspect the latter, so that the only way to find out where this happens is with timing. This is way above my pay grade however (to figure out what the "ping" is using a +norecurse DNS query packet) :/... Any ideas? Carlo
