NSlookup and Dig

NSlookup and Dig allows to directly communicate with Name Servers. To get data you might resolve the authoritative server first. And note: The www from www.wasanderes.de is a subdomain. You might want to query wasanderes.de to get usefull results.

Use the Dig command to query all available records really fast. It does everything in one go.
