I am pointing to the UUNET DNS servers, and I am getting "Bad IP Address" for a bunch of domains: aol.com netscape.com erols.com etc .... It is also affecting a few other DNS servers not belonging to UUNET. Any suggestions ??? Gene Mondrus Webmaster Bigfoot.com

AOL and Netscape aren't pushing A records and erols.net is cnamed to ns0.erols.net It's not a problem per se. Regards, -- Martin Hannigan (hannigan@firefly.net) Voice: 617.528.1099 Firefly Network, Inc. - Network Operations Network Engineer www.firefly.net Semper Cabalis

I guess this is leaking off topic a bit, but, FWIW, AOL.COM does have MX records pointing to CNAME records. It causes my named to whine through syslog a lot. Basically, I'm not expecting AOL to have everything up to snuff in the DNS department. But I've seen worse with some big providers. | phil@charon:/home/phil 4> nslookup -qt=mx aol.com 152.163.199.42 | Server: dns-01.aol.com | Address: 152.163.199.42 | | aol.com preference = 25, mail exchanger = b.mr.aol.com | aol.com preference = 25, mail exchanger = c.mr.aol.com | aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = a.mx.aol.com | aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = b.mx.aol.com | aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = c.mx.aol.com | aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = d.mx.aol.com | aol.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = e.mx.aol.com | aol.com preference = 25, mail exchanger = a.mr.aol.com | aol.com nameserver = dns-02.aol.com | aol.com nameserver = dns-aol.ans.net | aol.com nameserver = dns-01.aol.com | dns-02.aol.com internet address = 152.163.199.56 | dns-aol.ans.net internet address = 198.83.210.28 | dns-01.aol.com internet address = 152.163.199.42 | phil@charon:/home/phil 5> nslookup -qt=any b.mr.aol.com 152.163.199.42 | Server: dns-01.aol.com | Address: 152.163.199.42 | | b.mr.aol.com canonical name = mrin04.mx.aol.com | mr.aol.com nameserver = dns-01.aol.com | mr.aol.com nameserver = dns-02.aol.com | mr.aol.com nameserver = dns-aol.ans.net | dns-01.aol.com internet address = 152.163.199.42 | dns-02.aol.com internet address = 152.163.199.56 | dns-aol.ans.net internet address = 198.83.210.28 | phil@charon:/home/phil 6> -- Phil Howard KA9WGN +-------------------------------------------------------+ Linux Consultant | Linux installation, configuration, administration, | Milepost Services | monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostic services. | phil at milepost.com +-------------------------------------------------------+
