Hi Gregg, It sounds like you were using the name-server that you just shut down as your default. If that's right, you shouldn't have been able to resolve anything from your box. The problem with doing it from a system that you frequent such as the Unix box you mentioned is that it was likely to have your info cached somewhere along the way. It might have been a good idea to log in to speakup.octothorp.org, a place where you're not likely to be querying your stuff from very often, to see if it could go out to granatecanyon to get the info. Or, even easier, try appending 63.224.68.1 to the end of your dig request. I'm pretty sure that that should work. HTH. Bill
