|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> (domain information groper) is a flexible tool
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and
|
|
|
|
|
displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
were queried. Most DNS administrators use <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> to
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and
|
|
|
|
|
clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
than <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Although <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> is normally used with command-line
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
arguments, it also has a batch mode of operation for reading lookup
|
|
|
|
|
requests from a file. A brief summary of its command-line arguments
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
and options is printed when the <code class="option">-h</code> option is given.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
Unlike earlier versions, the BIND9 implementation of
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> allows multiple lookups to be issued from the
|
|
|
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
When no command line arguments or options are given, will perform an
|
|
|
|
|
NS query for "." (the root).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to set per-user defaults for <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> via
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="filename">${HOME}/.digrc</code>. This file is read and any options in it
|
|
|
|
|
are applied before the command line arguments.

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
A typical invocation of <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> looks like:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre class="programlisting"> dig @server name type </pre>
|
|
|
|

|
|
is the name or IP address of the name server to query. This can be an IPv4
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
address in dotted-decimal notation or an IPv6
|
|
|
|
|
address in colon-delimited notation. When the supplied
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> argument is a hostname,
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> resolves that name before querying that name
|
|
|
|
|
server. If no <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> argument is provided,
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> consults <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
and queries the name servers listed there. The reply from the name
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
server that responds is displayed.

|
ANY, A, MX, SIG, etc.
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any valid query type. If no
|
|
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> argument is supplied,
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will perform a lookup for an A record.

<a name="id2526114"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <code class="option">-b</code> option sets the source IP address of the query
|
|
|
|
|
to <em class="parameter"><code>address</code></em>. This must be a valid address on
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
one of the host's network interfaces or "0.0.0.0" or "::". An optional port
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
may be specified by appending "#<port>"
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The default query class (IN for internet) is overridden by the
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="option">-c</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em> is any valid
|
|
|
|
|
class, such as HS for Hesiod records or CH for CHAOSNET records.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <code class="option">-f</code> option makes <span><strong class="command">dig </strong></span> operate
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to process from the
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
file <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em>. The file contains a number of
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
queries, one per line. Each entry in the file should be organised in
|
|
|
|
|
the same way they would be presented as queries to
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> using the command-line interface.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If a non-standard port number is to be queried, the
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="option">-p</code> option is used. <em class="parameter"><code>port#</code></em> is
|
|
|
|
|
the port number that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> will send its queries
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
instead of the standard DNS port number 53. This option would be used
|
|
|
|
|
to test a name server that has been configured to listen for queries
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
on a non-standard port number.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> to only
|
|
|
|
|
use IPv4 query transport. The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> to only use IPv6 query transport.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <code class="option">-t</code> option sets the query type to
|
|
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>. It can be any valid query type which is
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
supported in BIND9. The default query type "A", unless the
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<code class="option">-x</code> option is supplied to indicate a reverse lookup.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
A zone transfer can be requested by specifying a type of AXFR. When
|
|
|
|
|
an incremental zone transfer (IXFR) is required,
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> is set to <code class="literal">ixfr=N</code>.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
The incremental zone transfer will contain the changes made to the zone
|
|
|
|
|
since the serial number in the zone's SOA record was
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>N</code></em>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Reverse lookups - mapping addresses to names - are simplified by the
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="option">-x</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>addr</code></em> is an IPv4
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
address in dotted-decimal notation, or a colon-delimited IPv6 address.
|
|
|
|
|
When this option is used, there is no need to provide the
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em> and
|
|
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> arguments. <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
automatically performs a lookup for a name like
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<code class="literal">11.12.13.10.in-addr.arpa</code> and sets the query type and
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
class to PTR and IN respectively. By default, IPv6 addresses are
|
|
|
|
|
looked up using nibble format under the IP6.ARPA domain.
|
|
|
|
|
To use the older RFC1886 method using the IP6.INT domain
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
specify the <code class="option">-i</code> option. Bit string labels (RFC2874)
|
|
|
|
|
are now experimental and are not attempted.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To sign the DNS queries sent by <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> and their
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
responses using transaction signatures (TSIG), specify a TSIG key file
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
using the <code class="option">-k</code> option. You can also specify the TSIG
|
|
|
|
|
key itself on the command line using the <code class="option">-y</code> option;
|
|
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is the name of the TSIG key and
|
|
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>key</code></em> is the actual key. The key is a base-64
|
|
|
|
|
encoded string, typically generated by <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">dnssec-keygen</span>(8)</span>.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
Caution should be taken when using the <code class="option">-y</code> option on
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
multi-user systems as the key can be visible in the output from
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">ps</span>(1
|
|
|
|
|
)</span> or in the shell's history file. When
|
|
|
|
|
using TSIG authentication with <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>, the name
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
server that is queried needs to know the key and algorithm that is
|
|
|
|
|
being used. In BIND, this is done by providing appropriate
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">key</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statements in
|
|
|
|
|
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> provides a number of query options which affect
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
the way in which lookups are made and the results displayed. Some of
|
|
|
|
|
these set or reset flag bits in the query header, some determine which
|
|
|
|
|
sections of the answer get printed, and others determine the timeout
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
and retry strategies.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign
|
|
|
|
|
(<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an option. These may be preceded
|
|
|
|
|
by the string <code class="literal">no</code> to negate the meaning of that keyword. Other
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval. They
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
have the form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
The query options are:

The BIND 9 implementation of <span><strong class="command">dig </strong></span> supports

2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
specifying multiple queries on the command line (in addition to

2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
supporting the <code class="option">-f</code> batch file option). Each of those
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
queries can be supplied with its own set of flags, options and query
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, each <em class="parameter"><code>query</code></em> argument represent an
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
individual query in the command-line syntax described above. Each
|
|
|
|
|
consists of any of the standard options and flags, the name to be
|
|
|
|
|
looked up, an optional query type and class and any query options that
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
should be applied to that query.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
A global set of query options, which should be applied to all queries,
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
can also be supplied. These global query options must precede the
|
|
|
|
|
first tuple of name, class, type, options, flags, and query options
|
|
|
|
|
supplied on the command line. Any global query options (except
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
the <code class="option">+[no]cmd</code> option) can be
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|

overridden by a query-specific set of query options. For example:

shows how <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> could be used from the command line
|
|
|
|
|
to make three lookups: an ANY query for <code class="literal">www.isc.org</code>, a
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 and a query for the NS records of
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<code class="literal">isc.org</code>.
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00

|
|
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
A global query option of <em class="parameter"><code>+qr</code></em> is applied, so
|
|
|
|
|
that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span> shows the initial query it made for each
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
lookup. The final query has a local query option of
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<em class="parameter"><code>+noqr</code></em> which means that <span><strong class="command">dig</strong></span>
|
2004-09-19 01:30:24 +00:00
|
|
|
will not print the initial query when it looks up the NS records for
|
2005-12-29 04:22:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<code class="literal">isc.org</code>.

There are probably too many query options.
