<span style="font-family: verdana"><span style="font-size: 12px">Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I just wanted to confirm an observation/test of my 'syslog' files to make sure that everything is operating correctly....<br />
<br />
In testing my PowerDNS from different computers, I have run the 'nslookup [site name]' command from my CMD prompt and then went to check my PDNS syslog files to confirm everything is operating correctly.<br />
<br />
Given this, I get one 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input for this [site name] in my logs from running this one 'nslookup [site name]' command.<br />
<br />
This one error should be okay because the 'nslookup' command sends three requests (PTR host name, A record and AAAA record), and I have:<br />
<br />
1 PTR record for the reverse mapping of the host name,<br />
<br />
1 A record for the [site name], and<br />
<br />
0 AAAA records for the [site name]<br />
<br />
Which is why my log files are showing the 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input for this [site name] in my syslog<span style="display: none"> , because I have no AA, , ss , </span>because I have no AAAA record.<br />
<br />
QUESTIONS:<br />
<br />
1. Thus, this one error is fine and should be expected from the layout described? If not, then why do I get the 'non authoritative, sending servfail' input? <span style="display: none"> ?</span><br />
<br />
2. Also, in your experiences what differs from a 'nslookup' command in a CMD prompt Vs. a 'http://' request from a internet browser such as Mozilla or Internet Explorer?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for any help you can provide.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
