That's not NSI's or anybody's pb but the NS's. >NSI has corrected this problem also and should be >fixed in 24-48 hours (one of their nice billing techs misapplied funds). >Thanks again. I don't think your amazement and learning is over, yet. DNS Expert Pro will not even analyze the csocs.com zone because no NS is answering authoritatively for the zone. ie, the haywireness is in the NS's and not in NSI, not in upstream links. This has absolutley nothing all to do with NSI, as long as NSI has not pulled the glue records from the roots. 99% of the time, absence of the 'aa' flags means that the zone file has syntax errors.

Forget about billing, NSI, upstreams, etc, and fix your zone file(s), esp start with the master NS, if you run one master and the others as slaves for csocs.com.
