[[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:
+
 
+
; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> @192.168.1.1 freebsdwiki.net a
+
;; global options:  printcmd

;; Got answer:
