Hi,
quote:
"The error message indicates that the name server exceeded a pre-defined maximum number of queries that the developers think it should take to resolve any domain name on the Internet. Usually, you encounter this because of lame delegation: A case in which the name server for a parent zone, say com, delegates a subzone, say foo.com, to another name server, but that other name server is not in fact authoritative for foo.com. When you query the alleged foo.com name server for data in the foo.com zone, it refers you elsewhere, possibly higher up in the namespace, like back to the com servers. So you get a loop in name resolution, and a server keeping track of how many queries it's taking to resolve a name in foo.com generates that error."
Have you changed any config recently ?.

regards,
U.SivaKumar
