root server query question

[Christopher.Lee at uboc.com]

Hello,

In response to this I guess I need to be more clear.  I am using
dnsreport.com as my example of part of what I would like to do.  When I use
dnsreport.com to query our domain "uboc.com" it returns the following:

Your NS records at the parent servers are:

mpdnsa.uboc.com. [216.52.215.5] [TTL=172800] [US]
mpdnsb.uboc.com. [216.52.215.6] [TTL=172800] [US]
sddns1a.uboc.com. [65.194.243.5] [TTL=172800] [US]

[These were obtained from m.gtld-servers.net]

This is what I would like to duplicate.  I assume (maybe incorrectly) that
this information is from the root servers.  When I run my script locally I
get a different response because it is getting the NS information from my
server and not the root servers?  I want to check the root servers because
I am finding errors in how some of the domains were registered and I don't
want to go out and manually do a "whois" on all these domains as well as I
would like to repeat the process monthly or something to make sure no one
has changed something.

The root name servers certainly do not know about your NS!

But if you want to query a different name server than the default,
Read The Doc, Luke:

% perldoc Net::DNS::Resolver
...
         # Set options in the constructor
         my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new(
               nameservers => [qw(10.1.1.128 10.1.2.128)],
               recurse     => 0,
               debug       => 1,
         );
...
       nameservers
           An array reference of nameservers to query.
