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?
Try the +trace option - it will get dig to output the details of each
request on a full resolution (bypassing any local name-server and
performing it's own lookup from the root servers onwards).
e.g. dig +trace mydomain.co.za
It doesn't lik me :(
dig +trace cp.hostfactor.co.za
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> +trace cp.hostfactor.co.za

Segmentation fault
hehe. That's a nice trick though, I noticed after the 3rd attempt that
it goes to our domain registrars nameservers, then segment faults again.
But I'm sure this will do the trick
On another server it worked as expected, and I could see which
nameserver returned the query. My reason for looking for this is that we
run 2 nameservers, one on Linux & 1 on Windows - serving the same
domain, but it's not synced, so I wanted to see what happens if records
change on one server and not the other.
