I added a new DNS record to my server and am getting a SERVFAIL
response from Google DNS:

MacBook:~ $ nslookup hank4stillwater.com
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 8.8.8.8, trying next server
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 8.8.8.8, trying next server
Server: 8.8.4.4
Address: 8.8.4.4#53

** server can't find hank4stillwater.com: SERVFAIL

MacBook:~ $ dig hank4stillwater.com

; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> hank4stillwater.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 15367
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:

When I use OpenDNS the query is working fine.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the report.

Are you still seeing this problem? I'm unable to reproduce it:

;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47299
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;hank4stillwater.com. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
hank4stillwater.com. 282 IN A 173.203.194.253

;; Query time: 53 msec
;; SERVER: 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8)
;; WHEN: Fri Jan 29 18:29:58 2010
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 53

Hope this helps. --PSRC

Yes it works now, must just be a long propagation delay maybe?
