(BIND 9.3)
EXAMPLES
Example 1
To look up information about domain a.example.com
using DNS-Server 10.53.0.2 asking for host
address
A records:
$ dig +tcp +noadd +nosea +nostat +noquest +nocmd -p 5300 \
a.example.com @10.53.0.2 a
Example 2
To query a.example.com
using DNS-Server 10.53.0.2 without authentication, asking for
A records:
$ dig +tcp +noadd +nosea +nostat +noquest +nocmd +noauth \
-p 5300 a.example.com @10.53.0.2 a
Example 3
To request a transfer:
$ dig +tcp +noadd +nosea +nostat +noquest +nocomm +nocmd \
example.com @10.53.0.2 axfr -p 5300
Example 4
To request a transfer with Transaction Signature (TSIG):
$ dig +dnssec +tcp +noadd +nosea +nostat +noquest +nocomm +nocmd \
tsigzone.com @10.53.0.3 axfr -y tsigzone.com:1234abcd8765 -p 5300
The key is 1234abcd8765.
To secure server-to-server communication, BIND 9 primarily uses TSIG for zone transfer, notify, and
recursive query messages. TSIG is very useful for dynamic updates.
Example 5
To make three lookups from the command line:
$ dig +qr www.bind.org any -x 127.0.0.1 bind.org ns +noqr
The three queries are:
www.bind.org any An ANY query for domain name www.bind.org.
-x 127.0.0.1 A reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1
bind.org ns +noqr A name server lookup for domain bind.org, suppressing the query
display for this query only (+noqr).
