To find the ip address (a record) associated with a fqdn... dig ns1.mydomain.com a To find the name server record (ns) for a domain... dig mydomain.com ns Issue a query to ns1.mydomain.com for the domain name mydomain.com and return the ns record dig @ns1.mydomain.com mydomain.com ns Basically just specify the "type" of dns record to return at the end of dig. Some of the well known record types are: ns, a, soa, mx, cname Also, to find the reverse lookup record (PTR) for ip 1.2.3.4 dig -x 1.2.3.4 Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
