When I try to resolve mail.wilmot.me.uk against my local resolver (which happens to be BIND 9.6.2-P1 atm) I get the expected result:
host mail.wilmot.me.uk mail.wilmot.me.uk is an alias for wilmot.me.uk.mail.aaisp.net.uk. wilmot.me.uk.mail.aaisp.net.uk has address 81.187.30.19 wilmot.me.uk.mail.aaisp.net.uk has IPv6 address 2001:8b0:0:30:230:48ff:fedb:25dc Looking at the response from the local resolver with dig confirms that it is as expected. Querying your authoritative server also produces the expected result: ; <<>> DiG 9.6.2-P1 <<>> @primary-dns.co.uk mail.wilmot.me.uk a ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 11113 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.wilmot.me.uk.
