Search Again: Re: (OT) dig in the terminal From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 Time: 1:54:09 pm Get yourself a copy of ShellShell. <http://www.madoverlord.com/Projects/ShellShell.t> From the Macros menu, open the Network submenu and choose DNS Query. This will give you a graphical interface for the 'dig' command, including a couple of common options (specifying a server, choosing a query type, and choosing recursive or iterative), and you'll be able to see the actual command line equivalent at the bottom. I modeled the interface on DNS Expert's query tool, with some help from Robert Woodhead (author of ShellShell). ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy Visit the Men & Mice booth (#2525) at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 7-9. http://www.key3media.com/interop/lv2002/index.php At 2:39 PM +0100 4/23/02, Paul Willis wrote: >Hi all > >Until Men & Mice get round to DNS Expert on OS X (if ever) can >anyone give me some basic commands to use the terminal to check DNS >entries?
