Hi list,
When I deleted all the entries in /etc/resolv.conf (I am using Linux),
dig can't work.
I was thinking since dig is a standard resolver, it should have the
capibility to follow the referrel from root, thus it will work fine
even there is no system dns resolving.
Am I right?
No.
"dig" is a test tool. It is not a recursive resolver. It does not
contain a list of root hints, and always starts a query at a nameserver
you give it, either explicitly via the @server command line, or
implicitly via /etc/resolv.conf
Even when doing +trace.
