dig command does not show A records












0















I brought up a DNS server on a Fortigate 60D.

However, instead of dig giving me all the A records I defined (about 80 of them), all I see is this (note the lack of any lines of the form
local. 172719 IN A 192.168.1.97):



$ dig local all

Can you suggest a way to make dig display the A records?

  • Does your DNS software use syntax similar to a Bind9 zonefile? If so, did you update the serial? Did you reload the service after the data change?

 dig local A


This will request only A records for the domain "local". I normally specify a server -



dig @server.name domain.name A

The following is a workaround to get A records, but it's better than nothing:



(echo "diag test app dnsproxy 8"; echo "exit") | ssh -tt <user>@<Fortigate IP>


The above will display all A records on the shell line.
