I know that dig +trace can be used to see the path of name resolution starting 
from root server down to final answer.

What I’m wondering is if there is some set of options that would go from 
workstation to final answer?   That is to say only go to the root server if 
that is where the DNS topology internally sends me.

For example from my workstation if I search an internal domain we use I know 
which internal DNS server it goes to ask the question.   That DNS server in 
turn may refer to a separate internal DNS server which is authoritative for the 
domain or has the record cached.   A dig +trace is useless because the root 
servers know nothing about the domain.   I’ve found various things that give me 
parts of the information but wonder if there isn’t something that would do 
something like trace so I can see each DNS server that was referred to in such 
lookups.
