Good Morning..
I am new member in this mailing list. I need help to change the query
type in the nslookup command.
The default nslookup using A, but I use ipv6 so the query type must use
AAAA. I don't know how to change the default nslookup from A to AAAA
permanently?
first, this is a bind list, and nslookup is not a bind tool. Consider
using dig, which is much better in this case.
And, IIRC, when you run nslookup you can put
set type=AAAA
yourquery.com
and that should give the effect you want
I have no idea how to change the default query type for any of the tools.
Well (at least as long as it *is* BIND's nslookup) you can specify it
on the command line
nslookup -type=aaaa
if that counts as "changing the default", or even define
alias nslookup6='nslookup -type=aaaa'
using your favorite shell.
The real answer to the OP, I'm afraid, is RTFM. The (horrible) syntax
of nslookup option settings is perfectly well described in its man page.
