Hello there, : I have a customer that is waiting on a DNS update for his site to : start working. He's bugging my guys constantly, so I promised him : we'd call him the moment it "works." Currently, I'm checking his : DNS server every few minutes manually. If I could automate this : to alert me when it's updated, we could make the call and be : done. : : It was also worth the email because I'd like to be able to do : this on a broader scale - I'm curious about how often some public : DNS servers update. I could submit a change and time how long it : takes each server I'm curious about to return the new data. I'm : particularly interested in the difference in response time : between 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8.
Try this in a terminal: watch -n 10 -- host deadcat.org. 4.2.2.2 -Martin -- Martin A. Brown http://linux-ip.net/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
