Does anyone know why dig brownmackie.com +nssearch only returns 5 auth nameserver soa records?
A check of whois shows they have 7 auth nameservers.
A dig -t NS brownmackie.com @<one of their auth nameservers> shows 7 nameservers are delegated authority for the domain.
Is this a limitation of +nssearch?
Can +nssearch only return up to 5 soa records?

Thanks!
Marty in Indianapolis

Two of them do not respond to queries for brownmackie.com.
