For nearly a month we have been trying real hard to get BACK onto
the internet.  We just started a dns server  .. the nic temporarily
el;iminated our aliases.  Then returned them.  

Coincident with the last fix we got restricted to the MILnet ONLY.  The
following was the latest sent to ACTION .. They apparently cant find what
happened .. we can talk to the .MIL domain, directly, ONLY.

  Subject: Looks like net 192.31.106 is LOST again

  We recently introduced a DNS, engsun, net_.50, we intermittently lost
  our old aliases host.NAVY.MIL on three of the critical hosts.  The NIC
  fixed that for us.  We have devolved, in the past week, since the last 
  fix to the INVISIBLE net ( Net_192.31.106 ).  The only hosts we can
  exchange packets with are on the MILnet.

  Our nslookup, in diagnostic mode, reports we are getting good id's for 
  each regular ( non-MILnet ) host we try to ping, finger or telnet / ftp
  with.  Most non-MILnet ping or finger requests, end up with 'hostname:
  unknown host'  EVEN THOUGH the dns did a successful resolution.

  WE CAN connect to and exchange packets over internet with our SECONDARY,
  nosc.mil, with the NIC and other milnet sites.  ALL routes are via

  26.17.0.46      vaxb.navy.mil nswses.arpa vaxb.nswses.navy.mil

  Frankly, I can not imagine what I might have messed up that would allow
  me to reach MILnet hosts and NO OTHERS .. UNLIKE 10 to 12 days ago when
  I could reach the entire internet; neither can I imagine an internet
  failure mode that would make this happen unless we are removed from SOME
  of the core gateways.

  vaxb packet gate is a Wollongong VMS VAX 11/780. ( POC Martin Jordaan )
  engsun dns host  is a SunOS 4.0.3 Sun 3/60. ( POC Everett F. Batey II )
  suned1 mail host is a SunOS 4.0.3 Sun 3/60. ( POC Everett F. Batey II )

  ANY HELP will be very much appreciated.  /Everett Batey dns coordinator/
