nslookup alpine-usa.com

[fdiprete at comcast.net]

this is getting stranger and stranger

on my dns server I can't switch either:

> > server ns1.biz.rr.com
nslookup: couldn't get address for 'ns1.biz.rr.com': failure

I got the address for ns1.biz.rr at work (I'm ssh'd to my home dns server)

> server 24.30.200.19
Default server: 24.30.200.19
Address: 24.30.200.19#53
> www.alpine-usa.com

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
