Actually, good point. The prod servers point to the prod DNS servers, and each of the prod, and test DNS servers contain the same records for DNS. They aren't the same though because I did a domain xfer, but because I just set them up as close to the same as I could. Theoretically they should know about the test domain, but maybe not? I wonder if I should point the test servers at the prod DNS? That way they are all looking at the same records?
