Re: Cache Corruption

Here's what I get when I query your server:

- A cached negative response for the address in question.
- A cached authority response for in-addr.arpa:

in-addr.arpa. 81762 NS ipdns1.hinet.net.
in-addr.arpa. 81762 NS ipdns2.hinet.net.
ipdns1.hinet.net. 49227 A 168.95.192.14
ipdns2.hinet.net. 49227 A 168.95.1.14

So the question is, why does your server think this? Why does it
believe what the hinet.net servers told it?

It would be useful if you could figure out what reverse zone is
delegated to these servers. I know, this is not an easy task. After
all, the reverse zones that contain the PTR records for these servers
themselves are handled by some other servers in the hinet.net
organization.

I will see if our engineers can figure this out. Please don't reset
this machine if you can help it.
