Download root name servers cache file
Both files are identical, so use either one.
$ wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.cache
$ wget ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/db.cache
Reverse lookup
This option sets simplified reverse lookups, for mapping addresses to names.
$ dig -x 54.239.28.85
Check dig version
$ dig -v
Find the ip of a host
$ dig amazon.com | grep -A 1 --color 'ANSWER SECTION'
;; ANSWER SECTION:
amazon.com. 842 IN A 205.251.242.103
$ dig google.com +short
142.250.113.102
142.250.113.101
142.250.113.100
142.250.113.113
142.250.113.139
142.250.113.138
$ dig amazon.com +noall +answer
amazon.com. 325 IN A 52.94.236.248
amazon.com. 325 IN A 205.251.242.103
amazon.com. 325 IN A 54.239.28.85
Look at the "ANSWER SECTION", it has name, TTL in seconds, IN (class or internet), A (record type), IP.
Specify an exact DNS to search
$ dig @8.8.8.8 amazon.com
List all DNS of a host
$ dig google.com A +nssearch
SOA ns1.google.com. dns-admin.google.com. 759020131 900 900 1800 60 from server 216.239.38.10 in 28 ms.
SOA ns1.google.com. dns-admin.google.com. 759020131 900 900 1800 60 from server 216.239.32.10 in 28 ms.
SOA ns1.google.com. dns-admin.google.com. 759020131 900 900 1800 60 from server 216.239.36.10 in 44 ms.
SOA ns1.google.com. dns-admin.google.com. 759020131 900 900 1800 60 from server 216.239.34.10 in 52 ms.
Deep dive with trace
This option toggles tracing of the delegation path from the root name servers for the name being looked up. Tracing is disabled by default. When tracing is enabled, dig makes iterative queries to resolve the name being looked up. It follows referrals from the root servers, showing the answer from each server that was used to resolve the lookup.
$ dig amazon.com +trace
