How To Look Up DNS on a Linux and Unix Systems

To look up DNS on a Linux or Unix system, you can use the dig utility.

To look up the DNS record for a domain, run the following command:

dig <domain>

Replace <domain> with the domain you want to look up.

This will display the DNS record for the specified domain.

By default, dig will look up the A record for the domain. To look up a different record, use the -t option followed by the type of record you want to look up. For example, to look up the MX record for a domain, run the following command:

dig -t MX <domain>

To look up the DNS record for a domain using a specific DNS server, use the @ symbol followed by the DNS server's IP address. For example, to look up the DNS record for a domain using the Google DNS server (8.8.8.8), run the following command:

dig @8.8.8.8 <domain>

That's it! You now know how to look up DNS on a Linux or Unix system.
