As noted, 'nslookup' is part of the BIND package as well as available elsewhere. In some of those venues, nothing else is available to do the trick. When BIND is installed, 'host' and 'dig' are available. While 'nslookup' often works fine when DNS is working correctly, 'dig' is the tool of choice for when it's not working or unknown status. % dig a.root-servers.net or, easier to read: % dig +noall +answer a.root-servers.net % host -t a.root-servers.net Or, to partially answer the actual question: % nslookup -type= a.root-servers.net or $ nslookup set type= a.root-servers.net exit or even better, for several popular versions of the shell, $ alias nslookup=`which nslookup` -type= $ nslookup a.root-servers.net $ nslookup puck.nether.net That 'alias' command can be put in a .login or .profile or similar file, but must not be put [in that form] in a .bashrc or .kshrc or similar file where it will be run more than once. Now, if you are lucky enough to be on a Linux or BSD or Unix or Mac system, run $ man nslookup $ man host $ man dig $ man alias for more information. -- /*\ ** ** Joe Yao j...@tux.org - Joseph S. D.

Re: Change Query Type on nslookup
'dig' is a better tool in every way, I think. dig nbsp;host.example.comnbsp;I believe is the syntax there. -- Sent from my Palm Pre On Apr 7, 2011 1:02, mee thun lt;mas.mi...@gmail.comgt; wrote: Good Morning..

Well (at least as long as it *is* BIND's nslookup) you can specify it on the command line nslookup -type= if that counts as changing the default, or even define alias nslookup6='nslookup -type=' using your favorite shell. The real answer to the OP, I'm afraid, is RTFM. The (horrible) syntax of nslookup option settings is perfectly well described in its man page. -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
