FAQs

What Is Non-Authoritative Answer Given by NSLookup?

The answers from NSLookup come from querying your local ISP DNS or the DNS you may have set up. However, your DNS is the only one that identifies the IP, and NSLookup is only querying up. So, in its way, NSLookup isn’t giving an official answer, but it’s still correct.

What More Can You Find About a Website Using NSLookup Command?

NSLookup, simply put, is Name Server lookup. So, whatever is available in the DNS records that the website reveals can be figured out. That includes records such as A, MX, and so on.
