nslookup -s [externalserveripaddress]

Then enter the DNS lookup you want to check out.

Yes. Because manually walking the DNS tree one step at a time by hand 
using only a primitive CLI tool with very terse and confusing output is 
really easy...

Well, I certainly don't have a problem doing it, have been using tools 
like that for years....

And what's confusing about:

Server:         x.x.x.x
Address:        x.x.x.x#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   my.server.dns.name.here
Address: y.y.y.y

?

If I know that the address is supposed to be y.y.y.y and server x.x.x.x 
shows me that it is, then I know it's not a problem with that DNS server.

I think the best this year was yesterday's announcement by Google that 
you'll be able to read tomorrow's web sites today via Google Search.

The comic just get better. Apparently...



I think there's something "wrong" with the way my brain functions. Every 
time I see a webcomic, I become instantly hooked. Hmm...

For years now, that's all that has happened. But now it seems that the 
number of available free tests is actually shrinking.

The best I've seen this year was at a Finnish Nissan-forum. They claimed 
that AKE (Finnish officials to supervise car inspections, registrations 
etc) is calling all Skyline GT-R's that were registered before 2007 back 
to inspection, and they will 99% fail, since the 4WD-system used in GT-R 
is illegal in Europe. They kept it going for whole day, removing the 
"April's fool" -messages in order as soon as they arrived in the topic 
and people kept throwing water by telling that they have verified this. 
I'm still not sure if one guy draw his order for a "new" car back or not.

Hilarious. And darn nasty.
