Have you also looked at djbdns' dnstrace tool? It "searches for all DNS servers that can affect the resolution of records of type t under the domain name fqdn, starting from the root server r. You can list more than one root server.", and follows all possible paths. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/debugging.html Cheers, Emile. -- E-Advies / Emile van Bergen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel. +31 (0)70 3906153 | http://www.e-advies.info
