Well that's all you really had to say. :) I admit that I didn't catch the NXDOMAIN bit when I looked at the dig output, I was focused on the ANSWER and ADDITIONAL sections. I'll leave it up to the protocol experts to answer your question, but my followup question is, what bad thing are you seeing happen because of this? From your original post it seems like some resolvers are not doing what BIND 9.6.2-P1 is doing, namely chasing the CNAME to come up with an answer to the A query. Is that your concern? > Could you dig it again @primary-dns.co.uk with +norec and see if your > output then shows NOERROR? Doesn't matter, recursion is not available on the authoritative server anyway.
