That's interesting, I just did the same lookup using 35.8.98.43 and got back the correct response. Perhaps ACNS is currently working on this issue? -Jim Willson -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rob Keena Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 2:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] .org strangeness I noticed something similar on one of my Linux machines last week. It appears to be a DNS issue as shown below: A dig for debian.org against the MSU DNS server returns no answer. rob@netserver:~$ dig @35.8.98.43 debian.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: ;debian.org.

Perhaps they are different than the ones the dynamic machines are querying. -Rob Keena Missy Koos wrote: >We were noticing the same DHCP problem in the student services >building.
