Hi All,

I note that while I do get an answer,

what I don't get is any SOA record.

If I do
dig greenwareit.com.au
it works fine.
Works fine here too, but DOES have an SOA record.

With no SOA (Start Of Authority) record, it could simply be that
the resolving process has no way of tracking the name server
that is authoritative for the name lookup.
