Many use ping to check DNS issues but doing so brings in another factor: the client's os/resolver/caching. The 'dig' utility aims to work around this. If 'dig' (to the DNS server's numeric address) and 'ping' DNS resolutions differ, you have good evidence it is a client issue. On the other hand if both give the same unwanted answer, you have evidence it is a server configuration issue.
