Hey everyone, I've noticed that when I do a dig command, I don't get any authoritative records back. For example a dig to cnn.com just yields:
Code:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;cnn.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
cnn.com. 300 IN A 157.166.226.25
cnn.com. 300 IN A 157.166.226.26
At first I thought it was because my caching server already had it, but I tried a multitude of sites, and none return any authoritative records. How is this?
Even with the +authority switch it doesn't return anything. Is it possible the ISP can block this ? That was my first thought, or is there something else at play?

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.)
Thanks for the response. I guess I"ll use nslookup. I was aware of this tool, but always assumed that dig had more functionality to cover stuff like this. I guess not...
So how does one know they contact a recursive server? and how would you purposefully contact one instead of a non-recursive dns server?
Is it luck of the draw? because you did exactly the same command as I did, but got the dns results back with the authority..something i've tried multiple times, but just end up getting the basic return

I have read many tutorials on bind and i understand the A,MX, CNAME records.
Internally, on a LAN we can install bind and create all these records and we can tell all PC and servers to use this bind as DNS server.that's fine.
On the Internet, when we have purchased a valid domain like... (5 Replies)
I am trying to setup a CentOS 6.2 server that will be doing 3 things DHCP, DNS & Samba for a very small office (2 users). The idea being this will replace a very old Win2k server. The users are all windows based clients so only the server will be Linux based.

Hello,
I'm using CentOS 5.3, and I connect to a VPN in order to work. The problem is that I'm constantly accessing things on the local network and the remote network. But once I'm connected to the VPN I can't access local addresses by name, I have to use the ip-address.

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?
