: Confirm that a dns zone is served by a nameserver We currently have a domain which has custom nameservers. Our host has their own nameservers. I'd like to switch our domain to use our host's
We currently have a domain which has custom nameservers. Our host has their own nameservers.
I'd like to switch our domain to use our host's nameservers for a while. Our host tells me that their nameservers hold a replica of our dns zone, but I'd like to confirm this before I switch.
Is there a command line tool I can use that I can use to answer the question "does this nameserver know the dns zone of this domain?"
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks, Adam

Assuming you're using Linux/OS X, you can do dig @nameserver .to.test a mydomain.com on the command line, which should do what you want.
Not a command line tool, but if you visit www.gwebtools.com/ns-spy/ and add your nameserver after the trailing slash e.g.
www.gwebtools.com/ns-spy/udns1.ultradns.net
or www.gwebtools.com/ns-spy/ns1.servage.net
and then select the domain you need to view, you'll be able to see that information.
