need test dns lookups from around the world
Posted by plumsauce, 03-15-2008, 12:53 AM |
I am trying to debug a dns problem.
What I need is for you to do a dns lookup and report:
1) the address that was returned, the last octect will do.
2) the area of the world you queried from
The answers *will* vary because the dns server is geolocation enabled. Or, at least they *should* vary. But, someone claims its buggered.
The host name to lookup is:
ssl.dnsmasq.com
Thanks in advance,
Plumsauce

Sydney, Brisbane, LA, Dallas all give me the same answer (205).
HTH
Edit: here's another 20 or so - looks like it's 205 or nothing...

Hi Foobic,
That's a great tool you posted.
205 would be okay for Brisbane.
215 was returned in the tool you linked to for Mexico City.
That's great, because the split is:
205=AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN
215=IANA, LACNIC, RIPE
So, I still need lookups from AFRINIC and RIPE space.
Thanks!

Try this tool. For each result you can click on it to get a detailed log which includes the IP returned from the lookup.

Hi Wkkay,
Yes, that was another very helpful tool.
Results were as expected.
I got the additional Ripe results, so that makes the survey complete.
Thanks to both of you!
