My apologies for a feeble attempt at finding the problem. If whois has yet to be updated and the change has in fact been made at the root servers as reflected by that dig request, how do you find out the ip address associated with those name servers that came back from the dig request to make sure his server is even getting the requests? I'm not versed on dig and don't know how to shovel up that information.
Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc. (727) 723-8388 I would agree with your mute point if the whois servers were actually queried, but the whois servers are databases and are not queried by DNS. Plus, the whois servers are typically updated after the tld servers are updated. At least thats been my experienace when I make a change to any of my name server records. Sometimes it takes 24-48 hours for the whois servers to catchup. With regards to this post - using dig's trace mode... +[no]trace Toggle tracing of the delegation path from the root name servers for the name being looked up. Tracing is disabled by default. When tracing is enabled, dig makes iterative queries to resolve the name being looked up. It will follow referrals from the root servers, showing the answer from each server that was used to resolve the lookup.
