http://www.suseblog.com – Once in awhile, I need to find out the IP address associated with a domain name. The tool I use to do this is dig. Here’s a quick example: scott@desktop:~> dig suseblog.com ; DiG 9.7.3 suseblog.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER dig -x 69.164.206.99 ; DiG 9.7.3 -x 69.164.206.99 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER (Distributions)

dig show only answer 34 weeks 6 days ago

I want dig only to show the answer of my query.

Normally, it prints out alot of additional info like this:

;; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> google.de ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 55839 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION: ;google.de.

Can anyone tell me why my dig command shows my loopback address as my DNS? I've recently put a local DNS on my other ubuntu machine and have pointed this computer to use it, but it doesn't seem to want to play ball.

Having some problem with my BIND server resolving names.

[~]# /usr/bin/dig +recurs @MYIP www.facebook.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.10.rc1.el6_3.5 <<>> +recurs @MYIP www.facebook.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 31758 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not availa

Today I've been playing with some options in unbound.conf just for fun. I've enabled tcp-upstream but it doesn't work with some domains.

OS: OpenBSD current.

Can't connect to pear.php.net 24 weeks 4 days ago

If I try anything with PEAR, I get:

# pear list-all Connection to `pear.php.net:80' failed: Connection timed out

If I ping it, I get the following:

# ping pear.php.net PING euk1.php.net (5.77.39.20) 56(84) bytes of data.

I've also tried host and dig on the URL:

# host pear.php.net pear.php.net is an alias for euk1.php.net. euk1.php.net has address 5.77.39.20 # dig pear.php.net
