resolving issue

[ronnie gauthier]

I'm trying to help a friend out on his web hoster.

A domain is pointed from a registar to a hosting agents DNS servers, the DNS
servers are correct, I checked.
The host claims to have the proper entries in their DNS server.

If I set the nslookup server to the hosts main DNS server then query the domain
name in question, I should get returned the IP from the hosters DNS, no matter
if the registar DNS has fully propagated or not. In other words, if the hoster
has DNS records correct I should never receive the following from nslookup

> www.surprisewinner.com
Server:         ns1.skylap.com
Address:        207.44.216.141#53

** server can't find www.surprisewinner.com: SERVFAIL


Correct?


Thanks
Ronnie
