Search Again: Re: No authority records From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, October 10, 2002 Time: 5:39:25 pm Go back and re-read my first response. The answer you seek is there. Here is a summarized version: QuickDNS Server for classic Mac OS doesn't implement an optional part of the DNS specification. BIND does, but does so with an error (I think). The option in question is to return the SOA record of the zone when asked for a non-existent domain name. This option is part of the negative caching mechanism. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 11:45 PM +0200 10/10/02, Oliver Brodwolf wrote: >>The above query doesn't ask for an SOA record, it asks for TXT records >>(-qs=TXT). > >I know that, but why are query's to our zones handled so different >to other zones? > >Gruss Oliver
