It seems Plan 9 dns can't resolve www.paypal.com correctly;  I'm not sure
why.

Can anyone with a 9front installation try this to see if it resolves to the
an IP address (i.e. see a final "answer" output)?

ndb/dnsdebug www.paypal.com

Thanks,

It looks like 9fans messages are getting processed again.  I asked this a
couple of weeks ago.

fails for me too.

dnsdebug is happy though it returns more than I would expect.

acording to these guys: 	https://intodns.com/paypal.com

www.paypal.com jumps though quite a few indirections:

www.paypal.com -> www.paypal.com.akadns.net -> pprussia.www.paypal.com.akadns.net -> ppdirect.paypal.com.akadns.net -> wlb.paypal.com.akadns.net -> www.paypal.com.edgekey.net -> e3694.a.akamaiedge.net -> [ 104.86.233.120  ]

I don't know if dns(1) has an upper limit to the number of redirections
it will allow but it wouldn't surprise me.

Doesn’t work quite right for me. It resolves a few steps and gets to
an IP address but it never prints out the “answer” between -----
lines. If I do it for www.google.com then it does.
Also it prints some console messages - "no rr from dblookup; crapped out"
