Question: When i do an nslookup, SET type=ns on a domain name i get that the servers that are responding for the domain name are non-authoritative. They are propagated at the root server level and should be showing as authoritative for the domain name, which they do everywere but here.
Anybody know what this means exaclty?sorry but I have no IDEA what you are talking about??
can you more explination pls?Sorry, Im doing an nslookup (nameserver lookup) on a domain name, basically to see the servers that are showing for the domain name. When i do this the servers that it brings back to me they are showing as non- authoritative, i was just wondering if this is normal as the ones that i am testing are all comming back that way, or if it means something? I used to think it ment that servers may not be fully propagated yet, but even microsoft.com is bringing back non-authoritative.
For EXAMPLE, open dos window. type in nslookup type in set type=ns then domain name USE microsoft.com and you get the following:
Non-authoritative answer:
microsoft.com nameserver = ns1.msft.net
microsoft.com nameserver = ns2.msft.net
microsoft.com nameserver = ns3.msft.net
microsoft.com nameserver = ns4.msft.net
microsoft.com nameserver = ns5.msft.net

ns1.msft.net INTERNET address = 207.46.245.230
ns2.msft.net internet address = 64.4.25.30
ns3.msft.net internet address = 213.199.144.151
ns4.msft.net internet address = 207.46.66.75
ns5.msft.net internet address = 207.46.138.20

Im trying to figure out why it says non-authoritative as these servers are showing as the authoirtative ones for that domain name when i dig them.
