Anyone know what this one means when doing a nslookup:<br>I'm curious of why it says &quot;Non-authoritative answer&quot;<br><br>C:\&gt;nslookup<br>Default Server:&nbsp;&nbsp;dns.domain.com<br>Address:&nbsp;&nbsp;195.1.1.1<br><br>&gt; set type=mx<br>&gt; email.com<br>Server:&nbsp;&nbsp;dns.domain.com<br>Address:&nbsp;&nbsp;195.1.1.1<br><br>Non-authoritative answer:<br>email.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mail.email.com<br><br>mail.email.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;internet address = 196.1.1.1<br>&gt;<br><br>Regards<br><br>Lars
 
I think typically you will get the &quot;non-authoritative answer&quot; when the info is cached and not received directly from the DNS server authoritative for that particular zone.<br> <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
