Re: [connectivity] Routing issue/customer service

Using either 'nslookup meriwest.com' at a command prompt, or in the Sam Spade Win32 tool, I get a different result than you:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>nslookup meriwest.com
Server:  dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
Address:  68.94.156.1
 
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    meriwest.com
Address:  75.10.68.8
 
And Sam Spade:
12/20/07 00:44:40 dns www.meriwest.com
Mail for www.meriwest.com is handled by fw-sgs.meriwest.com
Canonical name: meriwest.com
Aliases:
  www.meriwest.com
Addresses:
  75.10.68.8
 
I have an OpenDNS account, and I get odd results with their name servers. With "Typo Correction" enabled, I don't get the same results as I get with the ATTIS DSN servers that come with my 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' account:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>nslookup meriwest.com 208.67.222.222
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222
 
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    meriwest.com.aosake.net
Address:  208.67.219.130
 
But, when I disable the OpenDNS "Typo Correction" option (you need an account with them for this; without an account OpenDNS defaults to "Typo Correction" enabled), I get the same result as when I use the ATTIS DNS servers:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>nslookup meriwest.com 208.67.222.222
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222
 
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    meriwest.com
Address:  75.10.68.8
 
So it looks like something fishy going on with DNS.

BTW, using either the 'meriwest.com' domain name, or the IP address, I get to a site identifying itself as, "Meriwest Credit Union". Oddly, if I post them in such a manner as to create a link in the page, the link errors out.
