ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You use your ISP's or some other DNS servers. Once you enter forwarders then you root hints are automatically not used anymore
ASKER
Switching to forwarders rectified the issue.

Thanks.
