Hm?

The DNS setup seems to be quite weird anyway...

gwise.ci.mil.wi.us and mhsgate.ci.mil.wi.us aren't RRs within ci.mil.wi.us
but:

gwise.ci.mil.wi.us.     60      IN      NS      lpitmd-isp2.mpw.net.
gwise.ci.mil.wi.us.     60      IN      NS      lpitmd-isp1.mpw.net.

mhsgate.ci.mil.wi.us.   60      IN      NS      lpitmd-isp1.mpw.net.
mhsgate.ci.mil.wi.us.   60      IN      NS      lpitmd-isp2.mpw.net.

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @lpitmd-isp1.mpw.net. version.bind. chaos txt +norec
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @lpitmd-isp2.mpw.net. version.bind. chaos txt +norec
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

So the servers who are actually actually authoritative don't answer to
version.bind. at all, to AAAA queries only with SERFAIL and to A queries
properly.

Unless I'm doing something wrong here, getting rusty in DNS matters. :-)


Best regards,
Daniel
