Re: how do I find out which nameserver returns a DNS query?

DIG tells you which server returned the results. Look for the SERVER line, should be third from the bottom. If you want to query specific nameservers directly, use dig like this:

dig @ns1.myserver domainname.com
dig @ns2.myserver domainname.com

etc, etc.

Hi all

If I do a "dig mydomain.co.za" from a Linux server, how do I know which
DNS nameserver returns the queries?

I seem to have a faulty DNS server, but can't see which one, so I want
to find out which nameserver (if there's 4 - ns1.myserver,
ns2.myserver, ns3.myserver & ns4.myserver) returns the queries?
