Hi Rick, I am aware that it is a somewhat odd (but not incorrect, am I right ?) to put a non-recursive name server in the resolv.conf but I am not able to understand the behavioral difference of ping/dig and nslookup.
But logically shouldn't it be moving to the next name server when the first one fails even in the case of ping and dig. This is what, I think, one would expect from a resolver. Can you please put some light? Regards, Kalpesh.
