Pain Points: That's not what WHOIS says

We continue this month with our "Pain Points" series; a series focusing on commands and concepts that are often a source of pain for system administrators, developers, and users in general.

This month Mitchell will cover Dig (and a little bit of DNS and Bind). DNS is a key technology to operations of all machines, including Linux and UNIX. Bind's dig utility design is often misunderstood: The IP address of the server to be queried is obtained from the system's name library unless @ is specified.
