DNS Server Info...

[Nate]

Quick question RE: DNS servers..

Is there a way to find out which DNS server you connect to when connecting 
to a webserver??  

I understand that it *SHOULD* (correct me if I'm wrong) hit the primary DNS 
server first (listed with InterNIC) then if it doesn't answer it then 
proceeds to connect to the 2nd DNS server (listed with InterNIC)..

Is there a command line I can use to trace which DNS server it hits to get 
the website info ??

I mean aside from pinging the Primary DNS server Myself (if it responds - I 
can assume that it's up and will answer to any website query for the zones 
it hosts).

When I try NSLOOKUP www.whatever.com , it hits my ISP's server then returns 
the website address.. it never showed the DNS Server info (Pri or Sec) for 
the website www.whatever.com  (I'm thinking my ISP's server is replicating 
the DNS info for the website but the DNS servers for the site ONLY allows 
access to certain DNS servers in it's NOTIFY list).

Sorry for the long post..  I guess it's not a "quick question" afterall..

Thanks In Advance for ANY help!
