NSLOOKUP


nslookup is a useful software tool which enables a name server to be queried directly, and for any DNS information to be returned. This enables one to determine if a server is up, working properly, is properly configured, or for returning remote server information.

nslookup is frequently run from the command line, in this form:

nslookup domain-name

however it can be run in a more powerful, interactive mode aswell. From the command line, a typical use would be as follows:

e.g.

> nslookup aaa.bbb.com
Server: ccc.bbb.com
Address: 127.0.0.1
