Should have thought of that :) I have many Linux servers here and use dig on them, I could have just checked that way, sigh...
So there is an ISC Dig.exe for windows? Cool, I'll grab that for sure!

ISC provides official Windows builds these days. The "dig" tool that comes with it is much more useful than NSLOOKUP. NSLOOKUP has always been a little flaky, frequently gives wrong/misleading/no diagnostics, doesn't use a consistent output format, doesn't provide all information by default, etc., etc. I'm wondering if the DNS answer actually had more information, but NSLOOKUP didn't give it for some reason. https://www.isc.org/ -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
