In today's call, I learned a bit about how LSID lookup
works:

 (1) try to find an SRV record using the domain in the LSID
 (2) fall back to a DDDS lookup and NAPTR and such

Option (2) depends on some NAPTR stuff in the "arpa" parts
of DNS space that OMG is expected to install but hasn't
gotten around to, largely for lack of urgent need, I gather.

I'm trying to verify my understanding from some code.
I found some perl code[2], and I got it installed
with "All tests successful." But when I run it,
using an example from the LSID spec[1]:

  URN:LSID:rcsb.org:PDB:1D4X:22

I get "Unable to resolve authority to SRV record: NXDOMAIN".


Any clues? A full trace is below:

> ~/src/lsid-perl-1.1.4$ perl examples/client/lsid_client.pl
> URN:LSID:rcsb.org:PDB:1D4X:22
Client settings:
