NSlookup command-line question

[Mathias Koerber]

What do you ean by 'does not work' (care to show examples)?

a.root-servers.net is non-recursive. Could it be that your domain has not
(yet) been
registered in the .com zone (on the root-nameservers), so that it returns
only
the SOA and NS records for .COM itself?

Subject: NSlookup command-line question


|    This question isn't strictly a BIND question, but I couldn't find a
|better place to ask....
|
|   Our company has approximately 200 domain names (no, we're not
|cyber-squatters), but lately NSI has been screwing up our NS entries either
|on all root servers, or occasionally just on select ones.  I'd like to
|create a script to check the NS records for each of the domains in a flat
|file, checking at least two of the root name servers.  However, I am having
|trouble with the command-line args for nslookup...
|
|if I'm *in* nslookup, I can say:
|
|set querytype=ns
|server a.root-servers.net
|domain.com
|
| and it works.  On the command line, I can say:
|
|nslookup -type=NS domain.com ns.our.company.com
|
| and it works.  But, if I try:
|
|nslookup -type=NS domain.com a.root-servers.net
|
|  It doesn't.  Can some kindly soul enlighten me as to what I'm doing
wrong?
