The weirdest DNS problem I have come upon

    I'm totally lost with this:

    I have set up a Linux (Mandriva 2006) server on my home ADSL line and everything works just splendid.

    Well, everything except for a tiny little problem. Bind sometimes has a problem with resolving A records, always for the same domains and hosts. But what I don't understand is that when I turn on more debugging in "dig" it shows me that it received the information, but a error claims it didn't

    Example:
    As you can see, dig did indeed receive the IP for ns1.theplanet.com, and then claimed it didn't.

    The problem doesn't seem to be a network problem, since I can ping the server.

    My question is this: Why is 'dig' claiming that it can't get the address for ns1.theplanet.com when it's obvious from the trace that it already did ?

    It's working for me:

    Code:
    dig www.break.com +trace +additional

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.break.com +trace +additional
