Weird. I'm getting a timeout error both from bind and windows 2003 dns
server on different networks.
What happens when you query the EarthLink authorative name servers directly?
dig -t ANY earthlink.net @itchy.earthlink.net
I get:
; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2-RedHat-9.7.1-2.P2.fc13 <<>> -t ANY earthlink.net
@itchy.earthlink.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
However, this works:
dig -t MX earthlink.net @itchy.earthlink.net
; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2-RedHat-9.7.1-2.P2.fc13 <<>> -t MX earthlink.net
@itchy.earthlink.net
