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

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.
