NXDOMAIN

[rwagnes <eli...@ne...>]

What exactly would cause the NXDOMAIN exception to be thrown?  This is my
code:

ZoneTransferIn xfr = ZoneTransferIn.newAXFR(zoneName, hostName, 53, null);
List zone = xfr.run();

org.xbill.DNS.ZoneTransferException: NXDOMAIN
        at org.xbill.DNS.ZoneTransferIn.fail(ZoneTransferIn.java:320)
        at org.xbill.DNS.ZoneTransferIn.doxfr(ZoneTransferIn.java:494)
        at org.xbill.DNS.ZoneTransferIn.run(ZoneTransferIn.java:532)

--zoneName is a valid domain controller..

Thanks.

I don't know what "domain controller" means, as it's not a DNS term. 
This exception means that the server returned an NXDOMAIN (name does not 
exist) error to the zone transfer request.

I guess my question is.. what name does not exist?  What is it looking for?

Whatever the value of zoneName is.
