Problem with dns_get_record() - shows only 4 Name Servers

[ankur0101]

Hi,

I have a domain called domain-whois-lookup.com

It is having 6 NS records, you can verify that at domaintools.com/domain-whois-lookup.com

 

I have a following code :

<?php
$result = dns_get_record("domain-whois-lookup.com", DNS_NS);

echo count($result);
echo "<p></p>";
print_r ($result['0']);
echo "<p>================</p>";



for($i=0; $i<=count($result); $i++)
{
    // @print_r ($result["$i"]);
    @$target_ns = $result["$i"];
    echo "<p></p>";
    print_r ($target_ns["target"]);
    echo "<p></p>";
    }

?>

 

After executing this, it shows only 4 records instead of 6, why ?

 

One more thing is many times, first name server (e.g. ns1) shows as 2nd and 2nd NS as first, why ?

Doing a lookup from home only shows me the four awsdns nameservers - not six.

domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns-146.awsdns-18.com
domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns-778.awsdns-33.net
domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns-1523.awsdns-62.org
domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns-1613.awsdns-09.co.uk
domain-whois-lookup.com
        primary name server = ns-1613.awsdns-09.co.uk
        responsible mail addr = awsdns-hostmaster.amazon.com
        serial  = 1
        refresh = 7200 (2 hours)
        retry   = 900 (15 mins)
        expire  = 1209600 (14 days)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
domain-whois-lookup.com internet address = 204.197.241.82

At my domain registrar, I have kept 6. I know.

 

How following sites are showing 6 ?

http://who.is/whois/domain-whois-lookup.com/

http://whois.domaintools.com/domain-whois-lookup.com

Even domain registrar's WHOIS is showing 6 records :

 

https://manage.name.com/whois_result?type=domain&domain_name=domain-whois-lookup.com&submit=Whois+Search

Well, a second lookup gives me

Non-authoritative answer:
domain-whois-lookup.com MX preference = 0, mail exchanger = domain-whois-lookup.com
domain-whois-lookup.com
        primary name server = ns1.linkwayhosting.com
        responsible mail addr = webmaster.linkwayhosting.com
        serial  = 2012020501
        refresh = 86400 (1 day)
        retry   = 7200 (2 hours)
        expire  = 3600000 (41 days 16 hours)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns1.linkwayhosting.com
domain-whois-lookup.com nameserver = ns2.linkwayhosting.com
domain-whois-lookup.com internet address = 204.197.241.82

It alternates between the two every time. I don't know enough about the system to tell you why it's doing that or how to tell that it does.

So now what to do to get right result ?

Is this kind of BUG ?

 

How other given domain lookup sites are showing 6 ?

How other given domain lookup sites are showing 6 ?

Because they know something we don't: that there are two different lookup results, for whatever reason, and can gather the results from both into one report.

I dont think so. They must have discovered this problem while development of their sites.

I think they are using some perl script.

 

But question remains as it is, why ? why PHP is not able to get real result ?
