checkdnsrr

[neville]

What do the following values for the type parameter in checkdnsrr stand for:

A, MX, NS, SOA, PTR, CNAME, ANY

[sangamon]

They are the same as the DNS records:

A == Address (IP Adderss)
MX == MX record (mail exchange)
NS == Name server records.
SOA == Start Of Authority (info about a domain)
PTR == A IP -> Name mapping
CNAME == An alias to the machine name.
ANY == Any records.

I hope this helps!
