(usagi-users 03508) RCODE =3 (Name Error) + DNS

[Sanjib Das <Sanjib.Das@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi 
As per RFC 4074 the server should return
Name Error (i,e, RCODE = 3)
for a target , about which it does not
maintain any information.

that i have tested like, i have my own
domain "ipv6.domain."
No within this i have one of my host
as "myhost.ipv6.domain."
but while querying i do it like this

dig host.ipv6.domain.  AAAA

getting the response with RCODE = 3.

where i got the doubt is like, if we
make mistake in the domain name itself
like, instead of ipv6.domain
say i typed ip.domain. In this case also should i get 
the response with RCODE = 3, if my server
is the authritative for this zone 
(i configured it as root server for
my domain).
In this case i donot get the response
with RCODE = 3.

One thing more, in BIND9, this RCODE
= 3 they have represented as NXDOMAIN
not as Name Error. I donno what this
NXDOMAIN really means, whereas it got the
same RCODE (3) value like Name Error
(As per RFC 4074) 

please comment...

thanks & regards
Sanjib
