We already saw the common issues when custom domain is involved where we saw a tool called DWI - Dig Web Interface which will help us get DNS records of a particular domain. Today while coming across a forum thread , got to notice a strange thing ever. It's not the first time however. If you refer the article about corrupted DNS , the blog URL used had similar issue. It is normally recommended to use "Authoritative" under Name servers when digging a domain. However this doesn't always workout. Let us consider the following URL in issue. newsblok.com www.newsblok.com The actual authoritative Dig Log gives us the following results, newsblok.com@dns1.name-services.com.: /usr/bin/dig: couldn't get address for 'dns1.name-services.com.': failure newsblok.com@dns2.name-services.com.: /usr/bin/dig: couldn't get address for 'dns2.name-services.com.': failure newsblok.com@dns3.name-services.com.: /usr/bin/dig: couldn't get address
