    mx1.redhat.com internet address = 209.132.183.28


    3. View Name Servers for a domain

    root@mail:/home/ubuntu# nslookup -query=NS prime.edu.np
    Server: 127.0.0.1
    Address: 127.0.0.1#53

    Non-authoritative answer:
    prime.edu.np nameserver = puck.nether.net.
    prime.edu.np nameserver = ns.ds.net.np.
    prime.edu.np nameserver = ns.nren.net.np.
    prime.edu.np nameserver = ns.lahai.com.

    4. View Start of Authority Record for a domain
    root@mail:/home/ubuntu# nslookup -query=SOA prime.edu.np
    Server: 127.0.0.1
    Address: 127.0.0.1#53

    Non-authoritative answer:
    prime.edu.np
    origin = ns.nren.net.np
    mail addr = ipadmin.nren.net.np
    serial = 2013061101
    refresh = 604800
    retry = 86400
    expire = 2419200
    minimum = 604800

    Authoritative answers can be found from:
    prime.edu.np nameserver = puck.nether.net.
    prime.edu.np nameserver = ns.ds.net.np.
    prime.edu.np nameserver = ns.lahai.com.

    5. Specify a DNS server for Nslookup
    root@mail:/home/ubuntu# nslookup -query=SOA prime.edu.np 8.8.8.8
    Server: 8.8.8.8
    Address: 8.8.8.8#53

    refresh = 604800
    retry = 86400
    expire = 2419200
    minimum = 604800

    DIG displays full response from a DNS server unlike nslookup
    1. To specify a DNS server using DIG
    root@mail:/home/ubuntu# dig @8.8.8.8 prime.edu.np

    ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P2 <<>> @8.8.8.8 prime.edu.np
    ; (1 server found)
