[nSLUG] Resolving bell aliant

[Johann Tienhaara]

I'm on FibreOp and this is what I get:

  johann at bearberry:~$ host bellaliant.net dns-nb00.aliant.net
  Using domain server:
  Name: dns-nb00.aliant.net
  Address: 198.164.30.2#53
  Aliases: 

  bellaliant.net has address 70.33.239.144
  bellaliant.net mail is handled by 10 mx.bellaliant.net.



This is an "old" (5 years) Ubuntu 10.04 laptop I'm running on,
in case that makes any difference.  Bind9; the copyright message
at the bottom of the dig man page says 2009.

My mtr output is identical except for step 4 -- but step 5 is the same:

                             My traceroute  [v0.75]

Don't know if any of this information will help, but in any case good luck, and keep us posted on whatever you find,

Johann
