Using nslookup and... weird.

[Delilah]

Hello,

I'm using nslookup to check on my nameserver to see if its resolving for my domain. I had another doing it and I'm sure there's cached info upstream. I use the nslookup option to specify one server (mine) and get the following: (the weird part is the #53 after the ip address. Anyone know what this is?).


>lserver ns1.userzero.com www.userzero.com (http://www.userzero.com)
Default server: ns1.userzero.com
Address: 67.113.8.123#53

Thanks much

53 is the port for DNS

Thanks :)

BTW, an easy way to use nslookup to check the IP of a domain from a DNS server other than the default would be:

nslookup www.netscape.com (http://www.netscape.com) 24.216.110.8

or

nslookup www.netscape.com (http://www.netscape.com) ns1.zoneedit.com

for example.

This way it doesn't put you into the nslookup command line.
