If Microsoft's problem was with routing to their DNS network, why did MX records resolve just fine? I'm afraid I don't understand that part. Is there policy routing or load balancing or something that can route MX requests to one set of dns servers while routing host requests to another set of DNS servers? As far as I can tell today, responses to my requests of the same DNS server for host records and MX records are returning from the same IP, 207.46.138.11, so it doesn't appear to me that different DNS servers are responding to different types of requests. -----Original Message----- From: Omachonu Ogali [mailto:missnglnk () informationwave net] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2001 8:25 AM To: Dan Hollis Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: MS explains On Wed, Jan 24, 2001 at 08:40:19PM -0800, Dan Hollis wrote:
