Should I change my server in nslookup to the linux server?
A couple of things would have to be in place for this to happen. First, your network would have to have a DNS server in place that has a reverse lookup zone configured and that address would have to be in the zone file.
Next, you would have to specify that DNS server when you run NSLOOKUP. You can probably specify it from the command line but if you just run nslookup without any options you'll be running nslookup interactively (the prompt should change to '>'). You can then change the server at the > prompt. So, for example, if the DNS server you wanted to query was at 192.168.8.1 your request would look something like this:
I knew you were using iburst because you pasted the results of your nslookup which showed the IP of the DNS server you were using. Since the address you posted was internet routable I figured you were setup to use your ISP's DNS server instead of an internal one.
I did a reverse lookup on that IP:
I then did a whois lookup of wbs.co.za at domaintools.com and it told me that domain is owned by iburst.
I am running LexMark MarkNetPro-3 print servers on my AIX network. All of the sudden, none of my printers will print anymore. I am getting an error message on the console:
Unable to resolve host name.
This message comes up everytime a user submits a print job.
Any Ideas? (1 Reply)
Hi
I have a variable which is a path ie:
UBERROR=/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/wrk/../error
is there anyway I can get the output of an echo to read:
#echo $UBERROR
/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/error
instead of
#echo $UBERROR
/cobwrk/mchr/prodsup/ub/wrk/../error
Many thanks! (2 Replies)

Net::Nslookup(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::Nslookup(3pm)NAME
Net::Nslookup - Provide nslookup(1)-like capabilities
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Nslookup;
my @addrs = nslookup $host;
my @mx = nslookup(type => "MX", domain => "perl.org");
DESCRIPTION
"Net::Nslookup" provides the capabilities of the standard UNIX command line tool nslookup(1). "Net::DNS" is a wonderful and full featured
module, but quite often, all you need is `nslookup $host`. This module provides that functionality.
"Net::Nslookup" exports a single function, called "nslookup". "nslookup" can be used to retrieve A, PTR, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, and TXT
records.
my $a = nslookup(host => "use.perl.org", type => "A");
my @mx = nslookup(domain => "perl.org", type => "MX");
my @ns = nslookup(domain => "perl.org", type => "NS");
my $name = nslookup(host => "206.33.105.41", type => "PTR");
"nslookup" takes a hash of options, one of which should be term, and performs a DNS lookup on that term. The type of lookup is determined
by the type argument. If server is specified (it should be an IP address, or a reference to an array of IP addresses), that server(s) will
be used for lookups.
If only a single argument is passed in, the type defaults to A, that is, a normal A record lookup.
If "nslookup" is called in a list context, and there is more than one address, an array is returned. If "nslookup" is called in a scalar
context, and there is more than one address, "nslookup" returns the first address. If there is only one address returned, then, naturally,
it will be the only one returned, regardless of the calling context.
domain and host are synonyms for term, and can be used to make client code more readable. For example, use domain when getting NS records,
and use host for A records; both do the same thing.
server should be a single IP address or a reference to an array of IP addresses:
my @a = nslookup(host => 'example.com', server => '4.2.2.1');
my @a = nslookup(host => 'example.com', server => [ '4.2.2.1', '128.103.1.1' ])
By default, when doing CNAME, MX, and NS lookups, "nslookup" returns names, not addresses. This is a change from versions prior to 2.0,
which always tried to resolve names to addresses. Pass the recurse => 1 flag to "nslookup" to have it follow CNAME, MX, and NS lookups.
Note that this usage of "recurse" is not consistent with the official DNS meaning of recurse.
# returns soemthing like ("mail.example.com")
my @mx = nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'MX');
# returns soemthing like ("127.0.0.1")
my @mx = nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'MX', recurse => 1);
SOA lookups return the SOA record in the same format as the `host` tool:
print nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'SOA');
dns1.icann.org. hostmaster.icann.org. 2011061433 7200 3600 1209600 3600
TIMEOUTS
Lookups timeout after 15 seconds by default, but this can be configured by passing timeout => X to "nslookup".
DEBUGGING
Pass debug => 1 to "nslookup" to emit debugging messages to STDERR.
