external DNS name propagation testing
I use split DNS and sometimes need to add external DNS names which are propagated to the rest of the world. But I need to wait a long time, sometime 36 hours, before I can see the name propagated outside my domain. Is there any way to speed up the process so I can get to know instantly that the DNS name has been propagated correctly?
I have already tried to use query from free web-based nslookups and digs but they are the last ones to know about my changes; I also tried querying opendns servers but found them pointing to themselves. Since I use split DNS I cannot test it from my internal network either. I also don't have a machine available outside my network.
Thanks for any suggestions.
