how to see ALL NS records in a zone file with dig

2010-11-12 Thread M. Meadows

for s6, it follows the NS records of the parent which happen to be the same name server as s6. On the other hand, if you had attempted to master s6 on a different name server, it would not have worked. On 05/07/2012 12:32 PM, M. Meadows wrote: So ... if we have exacttarget.com delegated
