tibberous Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have the nameserver on an important site setup to a nameserver hooked to a domain name that I need to use for something else. I want to switch it's nameserver to a different one, but was hoping I could make sure the nameserver worked before I switched it. To explain better: myimportantapp.com uses ns1.domainineed.com and ns2.domainineed.com I create two new nameservers. Is there a way I can test the new nameservers, without changing it for anyone else?

corbin Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well you can use nslookup with a nameserver specified. Example: nslookup google.com ns2.domain.com Then that would do the lookup using ns2.domain.com.

keldorn Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 That sounds like an interesting way to get threw DNS censorship like opendns. Just change your dns to any random dns server out there. (There is literal millions wide open on port 53 ) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/182296-is-there-a-way-to-test-a-nameserver-without-actually-changing-it/#findComment-962322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
