SYMPTOMS
========
NSLOOKUP, which is included in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, does not devolve
record queries for MX and NS records.
Prior to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, NSLOOKUP displayed the following output:
c:\nslookup
> set q=mx
> acmewho.com
Server: blue-dns.acmewho.com
Address: 159.55.234.201
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = cool22.acmewho.com
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = cool23.acmewho.com
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = tilda1.acmewho.com
>
In Service Pack 4, the following output is displayed for the same query:
> set q=mx
> acmewho.com
Server: blue-dns.acmewho.com
Address: 159.55.234.201
dns.acmewho.com
primary name server = blue-dns.dns.acmewho.com
responsible mail addr = ism.acmewho.com
serial = 1140
refresh = 10800 (3 hours)
retry = 1800 (30 mins)
expire = 2419200 (28 days)
default TTL = 600 (10 mins)
If a trailing dot is specified, NSLOOKUP works as expected:
> set q=mx
> acmewho.com. (note the trailing dot)
Server: blue-dns.acmewho.com
Address: 159.55.234.201
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = cool22.acmewho.com
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = cool23.acmewho.com
acmewho.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = tilda1.acmewho.com
