exit 0
root[0]shakiba:/pp#

public

simply check the A record(s)

or when we have a custom DNS server and we want to check from there

for example we want to check derak.could on cloud root DNS servers

first we find root DNS servers for cloud TLD

now that we have DNS servers we can query them directly

trace

As the name implies , it will trace from a public DNS server down to the authoritative DNS server

instated of 1.1.1.1 we can set another DNS server to start the trace from there
