Unable to see an Australian.com.au domain
COLIN COMOLLATTI

I would like to know if my DNS set-up would stop me from seeing a domain or is the site I am trying to see.
What should I be looking for? Any good websites?
I have the book "DNS and BIND" ver3 by Albitz & Liu.
Problem:
I have attempted to send an email to a australiandomain.com.au domain. I can reach this domain from outside my network. But I can not see it from within my network. I am unable to send an email to the company hosting the domain. I am able to see their website.
I have no trouble with any other domains, Australian or World wide.
Attempt:
Attempted to ping, trace and nslookup without success the australiandomain.com.au. I was able to nslookup the hosting site.
Contacted the australiandomain.com.au, from outside, and the email addresses are vaild.
Contacted the hosting site and said they are not blocking my IP range.
Yes, the domain is a registered domainname. Checked using an Australian whois.
Set-up:
Bind 8.2.3
Macintosh PowerPC
Yellow Dog Linux
quoll.net (Based in Australia)
To keep companies happies I have not used their correct domain names. As I said at the it my be my servers.
Thank You for your time

The problem MAY be with the site to which you are trying to send e-mail.
I have a problem sending e-mail to
But I used the doc-2.1.4 utility to discover that all four of the
nameservers for that domain are not responding authoritatively. So I
sent e-mail to the net.au DNS administrator. I wish
I could use the same utility to see if your problem is the same, but
you have not given us the information we need to diagnose your problem.

I would assume that if a company has a mis-configured DNS then the DNS
administrator(s) for that company would want to know. I do not think
that "keeping them happy" is consistent with this view.

Since you post here, it might be a good idea to post the real names too.
Next, the "normal tools", dig, dnswalk and doc should get this
straight. And since you did not supply us with a clue you
are left to use thses tools as an excersice.
Let us know the outcome !
