Hi
What I have found is that while dig +trace gets and displays the information directly from the name servers along the way the resolver is also queried and the resolver's result overrides the trace result. This can cause great frustration as you see the trace looks correct but if the cache is stale it can fail and this information is hidden. These are results from a lab environment. Here is the dig trace: ns.juliet.dnslab:etc/domain#dig +trace ns.kilo.dnslab -4 ; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> +trace ns.kilo.dnslab -4 ;; global options: +cmd . 417 IN NS p.root. . 417 IN NS q.root. . 417 IN NS r.root. ;; Received 198 bytes from 10.10.0.2#53(10.10.0.2) in 0 ms dnslab. 900 IN NS ns1.dnslab. dnslab. 900 IN NS ns2.dnslab. ;; Received 156 bytes from 10.0.0.17#53(p.root) in 0 ms kilo.dnslab. 900 IN NS ns.kilo.dnslab. ;; Received 90 bytes from 10.0.0.100#53(ns1.dnslab) in 0 ms ns.kilo.dnslab. 600 IN A 10.0.11.1 kilo.dnslab. 600 IN NS ns.juliet.dnslab. kilo.dnslab. 600 IN NS ns.kilo.dnslab. kilo.dnslab. 600 IN NS ns.india.dnslab. ;; Received 309 bytes from 10.0.11.1#53(ns.kilo.dnslab) in 0 ms The dump from vlan0: 14:30:21.764372 IP 10.0.10.1.65314 > 10.0.0.17.53: 54404 A? ns.kilo.dnslab.
