Very odd, I went to the domain controller's cached lookups folder
and I removed the .dk folder and then lookups worked fine and the
mail could be delivered. Could it be that at one point it received a
negative request for the first time it tried to look something up in
that domain and it held onto it?

This might sound odd but there is another message in the queue to
another Danish site and it hasn't reported the DNS lookup issue
(yet) but when I query its domain name against our 2 DNS servers I
am getting the same problem, one can query it, the other
cannot.... Here is an example. Is there such a think as DNS
servers ending up on RBL lists?
C:\>nslookup leifstark.dk 155.47.64.174
Server: wcdc.wheatonma.edu
Address: 155.47.64.174
*** wcdc.wheatonma.edu can't find leifstark.dk: Server failed
C:\>nslookup leifstark.dk 155.47.105.40
Server: wcdclib.wheatonma.edu
Address: 155.47.105.40
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: leifstark.dk
Address: 195.249.40.49

Hi all,
We are having an issue sending a message because of DNS and I
am kind of baffled as to why. A message in the queue is
destined for the domain dis.dk but I am getting the following
message in the queue
Failed to deliver to 'amo@dis.dk'
SMTP module(domain dis.dk) reports:
dis.dk: DNS server failure
The /etc/resov.conf on the CGPro server looks like this
search wheatonma.edu
nameserver 155.47.64.174
nameserver 155.47.105.40
The 2 DNS servers are our Windows domain controllers. If I
query dis.dk against the first I get nothing, if I query
dis.dk against the second it does resolve (see dig results
below). Any ideas on how to troubleshoot whether this is
something wrong with our DNS server or something happening
higher up with the recursive queries?

I would do a dig +trace mail-gw.dis.dk from the server having
problems resolving this.
