[CentOS] Re: [SOLVED] Re: resolve problem

...

of weird alias, or b) the name server you specified is returning bogus results. In the case of bogus results, it's the name server admin's problem, not yours (unless you are that admin... =). There is an option c) which is a stretch that involved hijacked queries or a compromised system, but like I said, that's a far reach.

Sadly to say, i am the admin of the machine. After some experimenting, i realised that i need a hint using named.ca in named config file. Werid, i dont need that hint in other ISP.

thanks again

You need the hints anytime your machine has to do the resolving. When you use the ISP's nameservers, you just pass the request up the line, and are given the answer.
