DIG, why it's behaving like this...
Quick question guys...
I'm working on a Java based DNS scanner that checks the actual name servers (ns record) for a particular domain. I've ran into a problem where some domains simply can't be checked, although they do have a name server.
Anyways, dig seems to be able to check them, but only if I run it without any paramaters...
ex:
dig ns amnhac24h.us
# dig ns amnhac24h.us
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> ns amnhac24h.us
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 29686
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;amnhac24h.us. IN NS
;; Query time: 64 msec

;; WHEN: Thu Mar 10 15:09:58 2011
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 30
but
dig amnhac24h.us
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> amnhac24h.us
;; global options: printcmd

Any idea why an NS lookup would fail (just on this domain), while dig lookup without any parameters works?
I checked the .us zone file, and there is a name server record for this domain.
PS, I checked 5 of the most popular DNS libraries for Java and they all fail NS loookups on certain domains (ex: amnhac24h.us, adoptanolympian.org).
Thanks,
Luc
