| − | [[dig]] is a tool for troubleshooting [[DNS]] issues. It is very similar but preferred to the now obsolete [[nslookup]]. [[dig]] is included with the [[BIND]] [[DNS]] software, which is part of the base system. | + | [[$1]] moved to [[$2]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | The command format is
| + | |
| − | dig [@server.you.want.to.query] [RECORDTYPE] record_you're_looking_for
| + | |
| − | for example:
| + | |
| − | dig @192.168.1.1 A freebsdwiki.net
| + | |
| − | will query the DNS server running at 192.168.1.1 for the "A" (host) record for freebsdwiki.net. You should get results very much like:
