Is this a linux box dig is running on? Some linux kernels have the worst possible UDP port selection algorithms. They keep selecting the port that was last selected provided it is closed before you get the next port selection request. On a box with several short lived UDP sockets you will almost certainly get reply traffic destined to the last user of the port. This is what is happening here, dig seeing replies to whatever was using the port immediately before dig was run. > but sometime it returns the correct results. > > what happened to this domain's name server (AFAIK it's using bind-9.6). > Thanks. > > > > Need a Holiday?
