He never said this was for tcn.net. Obviously, this is not the domain. How do I know? Most Root servers use a 2 day TTL. There's no way he could've removed a 3rd NS entry and us not still see it. > whois tcn.net > [Querying whois.internic.net] > [Redirected to whois.networksolutions.com] > [Querying whois.networksolutions.com] > [whois.networksolutions.com] > ... FWIW, please don't refer to whois output when troubleshooting DNS. Whois has *nothing* to do with the normal operation of the Internet. DNS works something like this (assuming no local data cache)... Client -> Resolver -> TLD/Root NS -> Authoritative -> Resolver -> Client Whois is an information database that provides contact/ownership information on a domain. The nameserver listings should NOT be taken seriously when troubleshooting DNS issues. I've seen MANY MANY MANY times where the root nameservers don't sync with what Whois reports. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
