[dns-wg] nameserve in root servers

["Daniel Diaz" <]

Dear Wycliffe,

(sorry for the last incomplete mail).

As Janos explains, this has nothing to do with root-servers.
In any case could be with the g-tld servers serving your
parent zone (i.e. ".com", [a-m].gtld-servers.net.).

I´ve just found this (see below) querying for "kla1" IP address,
although this shouldn´t be the problem as kla1 is not auth., 
for "afsat.com."):

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @62.128.168.70 kla1.afsat.com
<....>
;; ANSWER SECTION:
kla1.afsat.com.         1d7h50m59s IN A  62.128.174.1
<...>

as you see "kla1.afsat.com" replies that "kla1.afsat.com. has IP 62.128.174.1."
any of your auth servers replies correctly with IN A 62.128.168.70. 
Querying any other dns server somehow gets 62.128.174.1. maybe wrong
values used on SOA (i.e. too long and out-of-date data is still 
cached all around).

I´ve also seen other little things like not including IN A RR
for ns2 in the dar1.afsat.com.´s zone file for afsat.com.


Hope this helps. My 2 cents.
