By looking at this.. I concluded that MX records aren't looked at when deciding if a domain resolves or not. So.. I do the some testing with hospitalforms.com (which doesnt resolve but has an MX record) and it worked..
Why not the following commands ? set type=ANY server AUTH02.NS.UU.NET bebe.com Then you'll get all authorative info. Regards, Fred Mobach
