I posted last week about a probable bad DNS table somewhere between Brown University and NOL.NET in Houston, TX. I have one (maybe 2) subscribers that sub'ed can issue QUERY BLUES-L, modify their setup, etc ... The only thing they cannot do is ... receive mail from the list ... For a reason, far out of my understanding, mail keeps being routed through a host that is not in service anymore. mirror.nol.net had been replaced by dazed.nol.net as local name server. But the user's mail is bounced from this "out-of-duty" name server every day ... A call to the user mail support only confirm that the host "mirror" is no longer in service and has been replaced by "dazed" some months ago ... I know that normally DNS tables updates are done within hours... How can we find where is the goddam faulty table ? Is there anyway to know the route taken by this user mail from BROWN.EDU to NOL.NET via DIST2 ? It sounds like a bad episode of Lost In (Cyber)Space ... -- Eric Paul-Hus, BLUES-L
