In short: you asked the wrong question. Once upon a time, Vinny Abello <vinny () tellurian com> said:
These are the results I got when I queried A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET: ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @a.root-servers.net mil. ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 41 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mil. IN A
You asked for A records. Since a.root-servers.net does not have any A records, and since it isn't a recursive server, it just gave you the SOA for mil. If you ask for NS records (like "dig @a.root-servers.net mil. ns"), you'll see a different picture. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
