DNS-question



We have a class B network. Our DNS-servers' data gets updated every 10
minutes - dumped from a database.

With two similar entries in the named data-files I get different
results when querying them.  Why would that be?

The following example illustrates my problem:

Entries in the named datafiles:

> sudo grep bywoner *
db.sun:bywoner.sun.ac.za. in a 146.232.129.121
db.sun.rev:121.129.232.146.in-addr.arpa. in ptr bywoner.sun.ac.za.


> sudo grep kaaskas *
db.sun:kaaskas.sun.ac.za. in a 146.232.128.39
db.sun.rev:39.128.232.146.in-addr.arpa. in ptr kaaskas.sun.ac.za.

Now dns-queries:

> host bywoner
bywoner.sun.ac.za has address 146.232.129.121

> host kaaskas
Host kaaskas not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


> host 146.232.129.121
121.129.232.146.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer bywoner.sun.ac.za.

> host 146.232.128.39
39.128.232.146.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer kaaskas.sun.ac.za.
