Hello,

   My Internet ISP give two nameservers address.
But when I'm asking those two servers sometimes I get:
[r...@linux ~]# host d.yimg.com ns.my.isp
Using domain server:
Name: ns.my.isp
Address: ns.my.isp#53
Aliases:
Host d.yimg.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)

but sometimes I get:

[r...@linux ~]# host d.yimg.com ns.my.isp
Using domain server:
Name: ns.my.isp
Address: ns.my.isp#53
Aliases:
d.yimg.com is an alias for geoycs-d.gy1.b.yahoodns.net.
geoycs-d.gy1.b.yahoodns.net is an alias for fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net.
fo-anyycs-d.ay1.b.yahoodns.net has address 98.137.80.54


He explain me this thats a normal because of this:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2308.html
Some resolvers incorrectly continue processing if the authoritative
  answer flag is not set, looping until the query retry threshold is
  exceeded and then returning SERVFAIL.  This is a problem when your
  nameserver is listed as a FORWARDER for such resolvers.  If the
  nameserver is used as a FORWARDER by such resolver, the authority
  flag will have to be forced on for NXDOMAIN responses to these
  resolvers.  In practice this causes no problems even if turned on
  always, and has been the default behaviour in BIND from 4.9.3
  onwards.

Is this true ?

Thanks
Pawel R.
