The problem is that Nokia's domain registration record hasn't been changed to reflect the fact that ns-secondary.funet.fi is no longer authoritative for the domain. What happens as a result is, QuickDNS queries the funet.fi server and finds that the delegation is lame. It also queries the other two listed servers at the same time, though, so there there should be no delay in resolving the query. If either of the Nokia servers responds correctly and quickly, everything should be fine. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
