[9fans] Re: Pegasus 2.2 is released

cmu.edu is returning bogus results. dig from linux returns "connection
reset" on tcp and a truncated query on udp.

Weird--not for me (off campus and not particularly short-haul).

What I see with dig, straight at the 3 CMU.EDU servers, is a response
truncated due to "excessive" size (e.g., 779 bytes) and apparently-ok
responses via TCP. That is:

dig +tcp @t-ns2-sec.net.cmu.edu any cmu.edu
dig +tcp @cabbage.srv.cs.cmu.edu any cmu.edu
dig +tcp @t-ns1.net.cmu.edu any cmu.edu

If I ask my LinkSys, what I get back is 102 bytes--lots of stuff trimmed
out, apparently by speakeasy.net DNS servers.

Are the queries failing for you being made directly, or is there maybe
some issue involving an intermediate DNS server?

Thanks for letting me know something odd is going on...
