5534.0. "Inverse query for zone transfer" by EWBV06::KASAHARA () Tue May 27 1997 08:38

When I issue "ucx show host/nolocal" on ucx host configured with 
bind resolver, ucx always send the inverse query packet first to 
DNS server.

If the DNS server returns a error status to ucx, ucx never attempt 
to transfer any zone information.(it does not initiate TCP connection.)

Question: 

	Why does ucx send the inverse query to DNS server?
        Do you have any idea to avoid this problem?
	Is this behavior modified by ucx V4.2?

Could you please let me know about this ucx implementation?

Best regards,

	Yoshi.


I put trace data receiving refused error from DNS server.
