<body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple>
<div class=WordSection1>
<p class=MsoNormal>An entry in the bb-host file like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>192.168.10.10 bambam #
dns=fred<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>will perform a DNS query against the server bambam for the
hostname: fred. The way I understand it is if a response is received, the
DNS is considered good.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to know if here are any options to verify the
result. In my particular case, we want to query against a “Split
DNS” server and confirm the correct IP is being returned in the A record.
So,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>192.168.10.10 bambam.dom.com #
dns=fred.dom.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>71.137.200.10 bambam.dom.com #
dns=fred.dom.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The first entry should return: 192.168.10.15<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The second entry should return: 71.137.200.15<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If DNS views are broken, the 2<sup>nd</sup> entry may
return: 192.168.10.15 If so, I want to get a page so DNS can
be fixed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mike<o:p></o:p></p>
