Hi ALL,

we are using the DNS query to return A and MX records.
Once a while we notice a weird behaviour, for a particular domain
sometimes it returns record otherwise it does not.

we have no idea as to why the query is behaving so irrationally, and
it happens some times. We are using the DNSAPI.dll to do the querying
for us in C# by means of DLLIMPORT

Has any one ever encountered a situation like this, i wld be greatful
if some one can throw light at the end of the tunnel

So how about if you query interactively? Maybe this is their DNS server's
problem.

Hi Denis,

its quite possible that it could be the DNS servers problem at that
end.

I would like to know what are the reasons when the DNS server might
not return right values, i am a newbie in this domain, if you could
throw some light on the possible reasons of failure that would be
great!!!
