Check to see if your client is using the DNS server from their

<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Supposedly the previous ISP removed the
zone from their primary and secondary servers. But it really
shouldn't matter unless you are using their name servers because our
name servers are set as authoritative for the domain and therefor
should be queried for the zone. I am totally perplexed as the
what is going on with this host name in this zone. I have never
seen this problem before. Does anyone know what could be causing
this and how to get this fixed?<br>
