9/25    What's a nslookup equivalent to look up "set type=all"? I don't
        have nslookup anymore.
        \_ I think nslookup is deprecated and you're supposed to be using
           dig and host now.  Do you want the equiv 'host' acommand?
           \_ is it host -av <host>?

9/7     Dear Linux DNS experts, how do you find out if a domain has
        published SPF records? Is there a magic command like hostname,
        nslookup, etc that does this? I'm a UNIX noob. Thanks!

1/13    I need help fixing someone's Win2K box.  Setup:  Win2K box -> D-Link
        router -> DSL modem.  The Win2K box cannot obtain a DHCP address
        (other computers can).  So, I assign a static IP, and set the default
        gateway and DNS server to be the D-Link router.  After this, the Win2K
        box can access web pages on the Internet as long as you specify the
        web site IP address directly -- but DNS doesn't work.  Computer used

12/18   How do I find soda's IP address?  More specifically, if I want to
        give out my email address as <login>@IP_address, how would I do it?
        \_ host http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu
           Why would you want to give that out as an email address?
           It would be very ill-advised. IP addresses change.

4/8     If I set up a BIND nameserver for a domain that doesn't exist yet,
        and I use this nameserver in nslookup to query hostnames from
        this domain, will the nameserver recognize that it's (configured to be)
        authoritative for that domain and reply directly, or will it try
        to start from the root servers and work its way down (thus not
        succeeding in finding itself)? Thanks.

1/15    What is in-addr.arpa do?  Zoen alarm says I have traffic coming from
        12.141.96.211, and nslookup says the Name is:
        211.96.141.12.in-addr.arpa.   Does the traffic really come from the
        12.* address or the 211.* address?
        \_ 12.*.  in-addr-arpa is reverse lookup, and it's configured
           from right to left.  'in' stands for 'inverse', I think.  -John
