How to Verify the DNS record under our nameservers
If you receive a case that customer want to point the DNS record to an IP and then you already added the DNS record, you would need to verify it first before you update to customer. By follow these steps :
1. Using nsloookup
# nslookup > server ns1.idcloudhosting.com Default server: ns1.idcloudhosting.com Address: 103.82.240.100#53 > fascia.co.id Server: ns1.idcloudhosting.com Address: 103.82.240.100#53 Name: fascia.co.id Address: 202.179.136.172
This mean that fascia.co.id are correctly pointing and it will be resolved to that IP once the nameservers has been changed
2. Using dig
# dig IN A fascia.co.id @ns1.idcloudhosting.com ; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> IN A fascia.co.id @ns1.idcloudhosting.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 52648 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 3 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;fascia.co.id.
