Short: Command-line DNS-client (determine xyz.com's SMTP-servers etc...) Author: powerstack@usa.net Uploader: powerstack usa net Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos A command-line tool to send requests to nameservers in a TCP-network/internet and display the response. ---- If you ever wanted to know which SMTP-server your e-Mails go to when you sent them to "name@xyz.com", this is the tool for you: Type "dnstool xyz.com MX" and the server(s) will be displayed. NOTE: the SMTP-servers will NOT necessarily be xyz.com or www.xyz.com! In addition, other nameserver-queries are supported, especially: "dnstool www.xyz.com A" to determine the address of a domain. For frequent use, it is recommended that you use the tool with your provider's nameserver, which should be known to you: "dnstool ftp.xyz.com A ns.myprovider.com" or "dnstool ftp.xyz.com A 123.123.123.123" Requirements: a bsdsocket.library-compatible TCP-stack such as AmiTCP License: Freeware, source-code is included For further information, see the usage-printout of the tool. For detailed information about the nameserver-protocol, see the included rfc-document.
