That will give you the nameserver's IP and name. From outside, your nameserver is a.ns.interland.net. Do the same from inside and you are on your way

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS question
OK; Friday afternoon, brain fade time... I have my production internal domains. W2K3 AD, AD-integrated DNS. External-facing DNS is hosted by ISP. If I dig or nslookup for mail.essexcredit.com from an outside host, I get our proper public IP address. If I do the same from inside, I get our private Nat'd IP address. I seem to remember setting up an alias for it, but I need to change it now and I can't for the life of me remember where it is. Nslookup gives the correct address, but with "non-authoritative answer". Dig gives me: C:\Dig>dig mail.essexcredit.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> mail.essexcredit.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 41 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.essexcredit.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: mail.essexcredit.com. 1273 IN A <inside IP address> ;; Query time: 40 msec ;; SERVER: <inside DNS server address>#53(inside DNS server address) ;; WHEN: Fri Sep 17 17:01:08 2004 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 54 I don't have a domain zone for essexcredit.com, although I think I might have at one point when we were doing some testing. If it had been removed, say, 5 months ago, would that record still be there? How can I find the DNS server that is authoritative for this record so I can change it?
