check out whether the two have same ISP....

Hello all,

following is the entry in my /etc/resolv.conf

Quote:

root@bond:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 202.56.x.6
nameserver 202.56.y.6
root@bond:~#

Now when i was looking at my university server/network, i run "dig" command.

Quote:

root@bond:~# dig www.univ.ac.in

here in the last you see its SERVER address is same as the entry i've in /etc/resolv.conf.
What does it mean ???
Whether both of us have the same ISP or something else ???

regards

Try it again on another site like linuxquestions and I think you will see the same server ip address ( your isp ).
In my case, it's my dns server.

The information preceeded by two semi-colons (;;) is informational and inserted by dig. It indicates which of YOUR servers was used for the lookup. It has no significance to the other site.

Ya, you people are right.
Its showing my server which is looking up the things.
Thanks.
