DNS Lookup with host
Today while doing some sleuthing, I learned about the host
command. host
"is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups." It helped me connect a series of domains to their respective AWS EC2 servers, without a visit to the domain registrar.
Example:
$ host jakeworth.com
jakeworth.com has address 184.168.131.241
jakeworth.com mail is handled by 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
jakeworth.com mail is handled by 0 smtp.secureserver.net.
More info: man host
