Full Discussion: Dig only returns MX records in +trace mode

shouldn't you use:

Code:
dig -t mx fnb.co.za.

Technically at least under Linux, man page says that:

Code:
dig fnb.co.za. mx

works as well (resource name followed by type)

Even though I had success with the order you mentioned too... but it's not documented that way. At least on on my dig man page.
