# dig
> DNS Lookup utility.
- Lookup the IP(s) associated with a hostname (A records):
`dig +short {{example.com}}`
- Lookup the mail server(s) associated with a given domain name (MX record):
`dig +short {{example.com}} MX`
- Get all types of records for a given domain name:
`dig {{example.com}} ANY`
- Specify an alternate DNS server to query:
`dig @{{8.8.8.8}} {{example.com}}`
- Perform a reverse DNS lookup on an IP address (PTR record):
`dig -x {{8.8.8.8}}`
- Find authoritative name servers for the zone and display SOA records:
`dig +nssearch {{example.com}}`
- Perform iterative queries and display the entire trace path to resolve a domain name:
`dig +trace {{example.com}}`
