Re: Unreliable NetGamers

I'm afraid Planetarion has a few nameserver problems of its own.



slave.planetarion.com is dead:

Code:
[tomkins@wildfire ~]$ dig ANY planetarion.com @slave.planetarion.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> ANY planetarion.com @slave.planetarion.com.
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

dns-3.planetarion.com is a lame server (it isn't acting as a slave server, it's serving from cache instead of giving an authoritative answer):

Code:
[tomkins@wildfire ~]$ dig ANY planetarion.com @dns-3.planetarion.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> ANY planetarion.com @dns-3.planetarion.com.
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16731
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 4

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;planetarion.com.               IN      ANY

;; ANSWER SECTION:
planetarion.com.        1232    IN      A       195.149.21.29
planetarion.com.        1232    IN      MX      10 mail.planetarion.com.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
planetarion.com.        172703  IN      NS      dns-3.planetarion.com.
planetarion.com.        172703  IN      NS      dns1.planetarion.com.
planetarion.com.        172703  IN      NS      slave.planetarion.com.
...

Both dns1.planetarion.com and dns-3.planetarion.com allow recursive queries (bit concerning for security):

Code:
[tomkins@wildfire ~]$ dig +short A slashdot.org @dns1.planetarion.com.
66.35.250.150
[tomkins@wildfire ~]$ dig +short A slashdot.org @dns-3.planetarion.com.
66.35.250.150

You might want to get your admin to fix this.
