Just as a follow up on this thread, we are seeing the same behavior with the moody.edu domain and currently have thousands of pieces of undeliverable mail in our mailqueue and are rejecting similar numbers of incoming mails for them and others. We realized before seeing this and similar threads that the problem is due to lame servers but we do not have the resources to knock the rest of these morons into line; complaints from our users are becoming quite vocal. We've also discovered that Cable & Wireless is not responding authoritatively on quite a few domains that they are secondary for. Fortunately they are still responding authoritatively on our primary domains but not on about half of our virtual hosts. We've reverted to an earlier version of named which seems to have at least reduced the problem to an intermittent one instead of continuous failure to resolve (as far as Sendmail was concerned.) Before reverting to the earlier version of named we also had periods when none of our nameservers could resolve certain locally popular websites (ones that have no nameservers responding authoritatively.) We would be willing to let these improperly configured sites wither and die if only we had some external reference to point people at instead of it being our word against theirs. It is too bad that the 1996 resolution to unlist domains with non-authoritative nameservers never made it into reality.. ----- Mike Atkinson - mikea@kconline.com KC Online, Inc. - System Administration ----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Tancsa" <mike@sentex.net> To: <stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2001 12:25 AM Subject: more strange DNS issues in BIND and STABLE.
