So in theory the problem gets smaller since people refresh their machines regularly and put in the "learn automatically" settings. Of course in practise the "Local tech guy" manually hard-codes 202.27.184.2 & 4.
What's 202.27.184.2? I thought Xtra's primary DNS was 202.27.158.40? There are three sets of nameservers for recursive DNS?
Oops. Should have been 202.27.184.3 and 202.27.184.5 . Typed from memory instead of checking. The 202.27.184.X (alien and terminator) are the ones the conversation is about. They were originally used for both hosted and recursive DNS. They are still AFAIK used for hosted DNS and there are a lot of people with them hard-coded as recursive DNS servers. This appears to be the offical page listing the different ones: http://telecom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1274 -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar | eMT.
