Try using 'dig' instead of 'nslookup', and don't forget to add a '.' after icq.mirabilis.com. -- Juha

Can anyone tell me why nslookup is adding my domain name on to an nslookup of icq.mirabilis.com ... and then trying to do a lookup on that ?
Is it because mirabilis.com are not returning any nameserver records in the authority records ?
planet:~$ nslookup Default Server: planet.natlib.govt.nz Address: 192.122.171.130

At first I thought it was a problem with our dns, but I have repeated the same query from other NZ sites nameservers and seem to be getting similar results.
Are any other NZ ISP's or nznog people seeing a similar problem?
Thanks Adrian Smith
