Dig Basics
dig will query a nameserver to give you the proper IP to a name or the get the name for a certain IP. Control of the output is very flexible, but rather unusual. Per default dig also returns the responsible master-servers for your request.
| dig www.goldfisch.at | default long output for your query |
| dig +short www.goldfisch.at | output is short |
| dig @ns1.inode.at www.goldfisch.at | query a specific nameserver instead of your default nameserver |
| dig +trace www.goldfisch.at | shows you all the way down from the world root-servers to your queried domain |
| dig +short -x 62.99.149.138 | finds the name belonging to a specific IP |
