If it works with dig & other programs but not with nslookup, it's doubful that the problem is with your ISP. It's more likely that it's nslookup.

If so, it would seem like DNS is working but nslookup is flaky for some reason. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
