It is just you, working ok here. Can you do a trace, to show where it ends up ?

Raymond,

Strange.. It was working a few days ago. This is odd though:

traceroute www.surbl.org traceroute: unknown host www.surbl.org

DNS problems at my ISP maybe?

Hi!

Ah!

I see at least one thats not working like it should, Jeff, when did you change:

ns7.surbl.org. 61838 IN A 130.161.128.108

That should be:

ns7.surbl.org. 61838 IN A 130.161.128.84

The main surbl.org zone runs on our bind server, not on the rbldnsd.

Thanks for catching that. I've changed the numbered server back to your BIND server:

;; use the BIND server for the parent zone, etc. ns7 IN A 130.161.128.84 ; rbl1.tudelft.nl ;; do not use the rbldnsd server for the parent zone, etc. ;;ns7 IN A 130.161.128.108 ; rbldns1.tudelft.nl

At this point the numbered servers (like ns1, ns2...) are used for the parent zone and the lettered servers (like a, b, c,...) are used for the subdomains.

IF you can generate a .rbldnsd zone for the main zone, then i can also run it there, but not currently :)

The parent zone doesn't make sense served from rbldnsd, since it can't do delegations of the subdomains, etc. So the parent zone must be done from BIND.

Could you please check if the other servers give a valid answer?

Will do.

Confirmed working!

Thanks for your help guys!

<embarrassed> Thanks you for spotting and reporting the problem. </embarrassed>

I should have found it much earlier..... :-(

And thanks for confirming things are ok now.
