There appears to be two problems with mutt.org's DNS: $ whois mutt.org [Querying whois.publicinterestregistry.net] [whois.publicinterestregistry.net] [much skippage of irrelevant stuff] Name Server:NS.GBNET.NET Name Server:NS.SIGPIPE.ORG Name Server:KAMINO.DOES-NOT-EXIST.ORG Name Server:NS1.GBNET.NET $ dig @NS.GBNET.NET www.mutt.org |grep www ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @NS.GBNET.NET www.mutt.org ;www.mutt.org. IN A www.mutt.org. 86400 IN A 198.162.52.58 [OK] $ dig @ns1.gbnet.net www.mutt.org |grep www ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns1.gbnet.net www.mutt.org ;www.mutt.org.

IN A www.mutt.org. 86400 IN CNAME mutt.org. [???] $ dig @kamino.does-not-exist.org mutt.org [...] ;; ANSWER SECTION: mutt.org. 86400 IN A 194.70.126.33 [!!!] 1. NS.SIGPIPE.ORG is not answering queries for mutt.org, but it is listed as a name server. 2. KAMINO.DOES-NOT-EXIST.ORG is still listed as a name server for mutt.org, but it serving bad addresses. Be forewarned, for a .org domain, you need at least 3 valid DNS servers, or else at least some sites will treat your domain as invalid/unresolvable. This is documented somewhere, though I've lost the liink... I found that out the hard way when my own domain went down, for having only 2 DNS servers. :( [It's possible that this is a requirement of a registrar that I used, not of the Internet at large; I can't recall the specifics nor can I find it with a quick search...] -- Derek D.
