Dnslint - Utility

The dnslint (windows 2003) utility tests various dns options.

To use it we can try the following:

> dnslint /d "domain.name" /s 10.1.1.1 /c

Explanation of the flags used:
- /d set's the domain to test
- /s flag it's used to bypass the Internic whois lookup, and use 10.1.1.1 dns
- /c flag is for testing mail servers

It can be used to test a lot more, with /ad flag it will do requests to active directory.

There is a lot more flags, do a simple
> dnslint /? |more

to see the options
