Depending on which servers I query, I either get an NXDOMAIN, an answer with no authoritative nameservers listed, or the results you've shown. That implies that there is something wrong with the DNS delegation, and/or the various nameservers aren't returning reliable results. Perhaps part of the problem seems to be that: % dig -t ns desktops.cs.ait.ac.th ; <<>> DiG 9.3.4 <<>> -t ns desktops.cs.ait.ac.th ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19501 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;desktops.cs.ait.ac.th.

It's also the case that every domain should have at least two nameservers listed, and by strong preference at least one nameserver should be on another subnet to improve reliability. >> Notice the NXDOMAIN response...? > > Stange, because I don't get such response, even when querying from > germany to my domain in Thailand.
