Question
Is Digital Ocean's DNS working?
Why doesn’t Digital Ocean return an A record for hotmail.com??
# dig @ns2.digitalocean.com hotmail.com
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.3-Ubuntu <<>> @ns2.digitalocean.com hotmail.com
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3580
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available
;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;hotmail.com. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
hotmail.com. 1800 IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.hotmail.com. 1412269607 10800 3600 604800 1800
'''
But using a different server:
'''
# dig @ns1.msft.net hotmail.com
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.3-Ubuntu <<>> @ns1.msft.net hotmail.com
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: +cmd
