DNS SERVFAIL and NXDOMAIN on specific hostname
- by David George
I have two DNS servers in my domain, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008, but recently both are failing to route users to www.cdw.com. I have had no other complaints with any other websites, but when trying to use cdw.com the page never loads. I tried to resolve the hostname and get the NXDOMAIN error below:
MyComputer:~ me$ nslookup cdw.com
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.2.1, trying next server
Server: 192.168.2.2
Address: 192.168.2.2#53
** server can't find cdw.com: NXDOMAIN
MyComputer:~ me$ nslookup serverfault.com
Server: 192.168.2.2
Address: 192.168.2.2#53
