I recall seeing all sorts of records using nslookup, especially with debug 2. You have to do query type SOA for start of authority. (You get details on your default or specified DNS server, too, first.)
Other nslookup versions use '-qt' for '-query'.
I am supposed to setup a Domain Name Server, and I don't really know how to do this, can someone either help me, or point me in the direction of a site that has a good explination of how to do this.

Hello,
I've created new DNS servers and changed all of the clients /etc/resolv.conf to point to them, but when I check the old DNS logs, I see that the clients are still querying it. Does anybody know why?

ldns-notify
ldns-notify(1) General Commands Manual ldns-notify(1)NAME
ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available
SYNOPSIS
ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers
DESCRIPTION
ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform
TSIG signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server already has that serial number it will disregard the
message.
OPTIONS -z zone
The zone that is updated.
-h Show usage and exit
-v Show the version and exit
-s serial
Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.
-p port
Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.
-y key:data
Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the hmac-md5 algorithm.
-d Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.
-r num Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.
EXIT CODE
The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
