nslookup<br />

The nslookup command queries the DNS database to get all <strong>of</strong> the<br />

information that is available about a particular address. The output<br />

includes the name and address <strong>of</strong> the DNS server used to provide the<br />

information, the name <strong>of</strong> the system you asked about and other data<br />

that might be available, such as where e-mail is delivered for the<br />

domain.<br />

To view this information, enter either <strong>of</strong> the following commands at a<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> command prompt:<br />

/usr/bin/nslookup ipaddress<br />

OR<br />

/usr/sbin/nslookup hostname<br />

The following shows sample output for this command.<br />

dig<br />

Server: localhost.foo.bar<br />

Address: 10.2.2.2<br />

Non-authoritative answer:<br />

Name: sharon.foo.bar<br />

Address: 10.1.1.1<br />

The dig (Domain Information Groper) command gathers<br />

information from DNS based on an IP address, and obtains the<br />

corresponding host name.<br />

/usr/bin/dig -x ipaddress any any
