I don't think that's right. On my system here, IPCONFIG /ALL shows our
internal DNS servers. When I run the test at DoxPara.com, it reports on
the external forwarders that my DNS servers point to. Given that my DNS
servers are NATted behind a firewall, I'm not sure how it could check
them anyway. I can see how it might check for vulnerabilities in  the
NAT part of my firewall, but that's not the address it reports.

It tests the DNS server(s) which appear(s) under IPCONFIG /ALL.

 

It does not check the DNS server(s) that are identified in the whois
information for your domain.

Is this a valid test for the recently disclosed DNS cache poisoning
vulnerability?

Do I understand correctly that this will test my internal and external
DNS servers?  Internal clients point to my internal DNS servers which
then point to my ISP's (AT&T) name servers.
