[lug] Weird DNS problems

[Chip Atkinson]

Nate,


Thanks for the tip.  For archives sake as well as mine (i.e. correct me 
if I'm wrong).  Here's what I did:
dig
(shows list of root servers)

dig @l.root-servers.net. pupman.com
(shows list of GTLD servers)

dig @A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET pupman.com
(shows in the answer section the incorrect address for pupman.com)

when I
dig at york.jymis.com pupman.com
I get the correct answer.  Since the root server appears to be queried 
first, and it has an a record in it, it returns the incorrect address, 
right?

Chip
