Thanks for your help, guys. Didn't know dig existed for windows. Several ISPs (charter.net, alter.net) are choking on .us queries right
the alter.net cache's you are using arent' guaranteed to work... especially for non-customers :) but... in general they do work, sometimes slowly as all manner of people use them regardless of their 'customer' status to alternet :(
Is it possible that one of the authoritative servers for .us is unreachable/down at the moment, at least from name server 24.197.96.16's point of view? 198.6.1.2 gives similar results.
I'm not seeing these problems though (though that problem might have been transient too) ; <<>> DiG 8.4 <<>> us ns @cache02.ns.uu.net ; (1 server found) ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch no-nibble2 ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9205 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 3 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; us, type = NS, class = IN ;; ANSWER SECTION: us. 6D IN NS c.gtld.biz. us. 6D IN NS a.gtld.biz. us. 6D IN NS b.gtld.biz. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: a.gtld.biz. 5d20h12m3s IN A 209.173.53.162 b.gtld.biz. 5d20h12m3s IN A 209.173.57.162 c.gtld.biz. 5d20h12m3s IN A 209.173.60.65 ;; Total query time: 144 msec
