[Sunhelp] New domain name

[Andy Say]

"Non-authoritative answer" just means that the answer was pulled from a DNS
servers cache instead of actually querying the master DNS server.  How long
a DNS server is suppose to cache your entry is set based on the SOA record
(although this can be over-riden on each A record line).  There is no error,
nor should there be any concern.  The only way DNS can work with any
efficiency is by caching lookups.

Subject: [Sunhelp] New domain name



hi, folks,

I registed a new domain name for my computer.

If I check domain named in my computer and my ISP computer, it shows

# nslookup siteview.net
Name Server:  ns1.cari.net
Address:  216.98.128.70

Name:    siteview.net
Address:  209.126.145.162

But if I checked my domain named on other mechine, it shows

%B%m leonardo[23]:gangren> nslookup siteview.net
Server:  dns2.scripps.edu
Address:  137.131.200.10

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    siteview.net
Address:  209.126.145.162


My question is why it shows "Non-authoritative answer"? What is the
potential troubled for this error? 

I will appreciate any discussion.

Thanks a lot,

Gary
