What Is A Forwarder?

Answer»

(Open DNS console ==> Right CLICK on Domain name ==> Click on forwarder tab)

A forwarder is server, which has more access than the present DNS server. May be our present DNS server is located in internal network and it cannot RESOLVE the Internet names. Maybe it is BEHIND a firewall or maybe it is using a proxy server or NAT server to get to the Internet. Then this server forwards the query to another DNS server that can resolve the Internet names.

Command prompt commands:

  • Type Nslookup to get into the Nslookup MODE.
  • Type set type=SOA then PRESS enter type domain name
  • Type set type=NS then press enter; and type domain name.
  • Type set type=ALL then press enter.

Note: To come out from Nslookup mode type exit.
