Windows 2008 dns cannot resolve it.
BIND can.
Hi Joe,
Does Windows 2008 like anything in the "hosting" TLD?
I notice that the nameresolve.com servers returning the CNAME to kissimmee-fl.vts.hosting are also returning an SOA record for "hosting" in the authority section which looks very strange to me. Perhaps Windows is rejecting it as an invalid, possibly dangerous response packet?
Regards, Bill Herrin
I think that provided SOA record is a "local" or "alternate" version and its existence is why the nxdomain response is being sent to the windows dns server that accepts it at face value (but does not appear to store it in cache, so this is not precisely cache poisoning)
Nameresovle.com's servers are returning answers that can be seen as a cache poisioning attempt. They are NOT authorative for ".hosting" but have been configured as if they are. This is a big NO NO. You don't configure youself as authoritative for a zone that has not been delegated to you and in particular you don't configure yourself as authoritative for "." or a TLD. Windows 2008 is quite correct in rejecting this answer. Named would as well except for the number of DNS hosters that do this sort of garbage. Named just sees the CNAME and stops processing the message after that. Mark
Here is another example, unrelated to the new TLD's
