Yes, but what about an answer of NOERROR,ANCOUNT=0, for instance:
dig @a.nic.fr A www.google.fr
Is it an error or not?
In my case, that would not be an error, my needs are for a rather
custom checking system.
Can anyone point me to docs on return codes, or is this going to
amount
to string parsing?
I do string parsing. As an example, see the script in
<http://www.bortzmeyer.org/recuperer-zone-dns.html> (the text is in
french but the comments in the script are in english).
Very nice, thank you for that. This is a good start for me to see
what many of the possible return codes are that I need. My tool never
gets used in production, this is just something developers are going
to use. I installed for them DLZ, and get a lot of "DNS is down"
emails from the developers. In all reality, "database has bad data"
is more accurate. I just need a tool to show them what is going on,
without them having to learn all the replies dig may send back.
Thank you again for your link, most helpful.
