[dns-operations] Inconsistent NS records for ARPA zones at OpenDNS

Sebastian:

Thanks for catching that -- I'll update our ARPA entries at ARIN.

We've been checking ARPA entries at OpenDNS for at least two years -- it's
just the last two days in a row that this has popped up.  Something must
have changed with how OpenDNS obtains or caches these entries.

Hi Frank,

It seems the inconsistency can be explained by comparing what's on the
parent against what you are publishing.

ARIN nameservers indicate the nameservers for 10.31.96.in-addr.arpa are

10.31.96.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	NS	NS1.NETINS.NET.
10.31.96.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	NS	NS1.MTCNET.NET.


While the auth nameservers themselves report

10.31.96.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	NS	ns1.netins.net.
10.31.96.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	NS	ns1.mtcnet.net.
10.31.96.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	NS	ns2.mtcnet.net.

Perhaps resolver2.opendns.com is not updating the cache based on the
authoritative answer? Would be fixed if you try to add ns2.mtcnet.net to
ARIN?

Cheers,
