I agree dig is better for serious debugging, but for a quick check host isn't as bad as you suggest. $ host dotat.at dotat.at has address 212.13.197.229 dotat.at has IPv6 address 2001:ba8:1e3:: dotat.at mail is handled by 1 ppsw-mx-a.csi.cam.ac.uk. $ host nx.dotat.at Host nx.dotat.at not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) $ host bad-delegation.dotat.at ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $ Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <d...@dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ Sole: Northeasterly 4 or 5, occasionally 6 until later in west. Moderate or rough, becoming slight or moderate. Fog patches in east, rain later. Moderate or good, occasionally very poor in east. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
