Nobody, including the top levels claims an authoritative record for www.bxa.doc.gov and only one of the doc.gov nameservers even has a non-authoratative record. (One of your nameservers has a non-authoratative cached record the other one doesn't. As soon as it times out you won't have a record either.) I think the problem is that bxa has changed their server host and hasn't setup a new www record and, not having used a CNAME record strategy, it's toast. Good argument for indirection. 207.96.70.148 is redirected to 207.96.11.93. All those cached search-engine references are invalid until they get their dns records up to date. MCI may not be great but this one doesn't look like theirs. I appreciate the lead. I can now get the information I so badly need. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Bryant To: Jim Flowers Cc: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wednesday, September 23, 1998 2:37 AM Subject: Re: 1998-09-16 Briefing on Encryption (fwd) >personally i would call the cable&wireless/mci noc, and tell them to >fix their f*****g nameservers, but be sure to check your root file >first, as your domain shows that you handle your own dns, also try >flushing your dns cache. > >in the meantime, i guess mci customers can use: > >http://207.96.70.148 >[which is http://www.bxa.doc.gov] > >and the relevant page covering the new encryption policy is [follow >the link marked encryption from the main bxa page]: > >http://207.96.11.93/Encryption/Default.htm#WHDocs >with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
