Dns question

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,

There is actually nothing wrong with that domain hospital.com.  According to the root servers, the nameservers are:

ns1.medibuy.com. [12.155.49.203] [TTL=172800] [US]
ns2.medibuy.com. [207.65.187.51] [TTL=172800] [US]
[These were obtained from m.gtld-servers.net]

The SOA record for this domain hospital.com is:

Primary nameserver: ns1.medibuy.com.
Hostmaster E-mail address: hostmaster.medibuy.com.
Serial #: 2005041401
Refresh: 14400
Retry: 3600
Expire: 604800
Default TTL: 3600

However, there are no MX records for the domain, so email to that domain is not possible.  Also, the WWW A record does not exist, but there is still a stub zone for it in the DNS, which makes the domain visible on the Internet.

The site www.dnsreport.com can be used to check the DNS; although i use Dig at home, i use DNS Report at work since I don't have access through the firewall to do DNS lookups.

Thanks.
Andrew.
