Hi, I have a question: What does dig +trace exactly do?
The reason for my question is: I have a internal-only DNS in our company with my own root-zone. And normaly all things are fine. But when there is an issue I would like to analyze with dig +trace, the command fails. If I do dig +trace example.com I get something like this: ; <<>> DiG 9.8.0-P4 <<>> +trace example.com ;; global options: +cmd . 10800 IN NS root1. . 10800 IN NS root2. . 10800 IN NS root3. . 10800 IN NS root4. ;; Received 159 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 1 ms ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached I don't understand why there is a timeout. Next zone on the trace should be the com. domain which is hosted on the same servers as the rootzone. I don't see any DNS-problems at all, only the +trace-option is behaving weird. Can anybode tell me why? What does this option what normal DNS queries don't do? Tom. -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
