was it always non-authoritative?
because non-authoritative means that he gets his answer from somewhere else (so your server looked in his records first but didn't find anything, so he forwarded that request)
so perhaps you start looking in your records ?

(if i get this wrong, feel free to correct me ;))

hi
yes it is always non-authoritative.

Amar

so the problem is
maybe take a look in your CNAME records?
or is this also normal?
perhaps you say what actually the problem is? what isn't normal from the code you gave us?

hi

i checked in my dns but it not shows any cname= ghs.google.com

as my mail server is for mailing locally not for external , but now my mails going outside due to this problem , prior to this problem nslook to my ip ressolve to my local domain and vice versa but now it ressolve to google
