Thanks. Didn't have any *NIX boxes laying around to 'dig' any deeper. When I checked networksolutions' whois for neosystems.us and state.ny.us , both returned: " We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later." Figured something was up. But when I tried nslookup with a server on yet a 4th ISP just now, it worked ok. Thanks again.

i believe even windoze has dig at the command line, though i don't know in what directory it lies.
The web directory: http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/bind9.php or the ftp directory: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/contrib/ntbind-9.3.1/BIND9.3.1.zip What is also very useful are the following two websites, so people can click around a bit and get nice pictures making everything crystalclear for them: DNSDoctor (which even supports IPv6 :) http://demo.dnsdoctor.org/ And of course DNS report: http://www.dnsreport.com/ Greets, Jeroen

That's assuming you have installed BIND for Windows, which most people probably have not done. They do have ping, nslookup, and a few other command-line tools, but then very few people using Windows seem to know how to use the command-line, or even know how to start it up.

Do be aware that the WHOIS functionality is out of date - it doesn't know to search whois.publicinterestregistry.org for .ORG domains, for example. The source code is available, and I have a copy and am planning to create an updated package based on SS (no, it won't be the next version of SS), but it won't be finished for a while (I've *barely* just started working on it).

Figured something was up.
You meant this in passing only, right? You clearly did not intend to correlate an issue with .us DNS with whois data for .us, right?

also, with the helping-out of PCH and neustar I believe these TLD boxen are actually anycast around quite some bit... though I could be mistaken about that since the hotel in boston (ATT) sees the same path as the office in ashburn (UUNET) ...
