I had set up BIND at one point to reject people not doing a query for m-l.org or another domain I host and was perplexed when people were being rejected. It turned out that even though I wasn't listed on InterNIC as hosting CircleMUD.Net, some people were still querying me. >$dig @l.gtld-servers.net. circlemud.net. ns > >; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @l.gtld-servers.net. circlemud.net. ns >; Bad server: l.gtld-servers.net. -- using default server and timer opts > >It comes up as bad server.

What was really weird was that the third-party host changed from just listing Cambot to listing both Cambot and my machine after I toyed with a bunch of queries for a while. >Have you been getting a lot of problems from Network Solutions? In a few minutes I won't have any domains there. :) (Domains come due in February so good time to move them to GANDI.) We'll see if we can get the secondary or tertiary servers listed. -- George Greer | If it's about the CircleMUD mailing list, greerga@circlemud.org | mail owner-circle@post.queensu.ca instead. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
