Nslookup showing hostname, but DIG is not

IRJ

If I run nslookup, it shows the hostname

[user@PCName~]$ nslookup x.x.x.75
;; Got recursion not available from x.x.x.167, trying next server
x.x.x.172.in-addr.arpa	name = hostname.mydomain.org.

If I run dig, it does not

[user@PCName~]$ dig -x x.x.x.75

; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-RedHat-9.11.4-1.fc28 <<>> -x x.x.x.75
;; global options: +cmd

What is going on? I know it is best practice to use dig vs nslookup and I want to create my script using dig, but it is not pulling A records.

hmmm.... looking at this again it looks like x.x.x.167 is not behaving properly. nslookup is using x.x.x.172 to resolve. Is there a way to specify this in dig?

dig ip @othernameserver ?

Yep!

dig ip @othernameserver ?

Still not showing A record.

I am still getting

;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

IRJ

I tried every DNS server with dig and none are working.

What happens if you...

dig ptr ip ?

Reverse lookups only work if there's a PTR record for them.

I had the command wrong...

dig -x ipaddress

IRJ

Apparently internal PTR is not configured.
