Forgive the poor title... I'll do my best to explain
Working with Google DNS or OpenDNS (as they're both anycast) - is there a command in Windows or Linux where I can do a lookup and have the IP address or hostname of the actual server that resolved the lookup returned?
The reason I ask is I'm trying to find where my queries to 8.8.8.8 are actually resolved. While Google list my country as having DNS infrastructure, I have a feeling it's only a cache and the queries are being resolved in Europe
Thx
No, you can't find that.
Actually, if the server already has those info you want in its database/cache,it will reply you directly. Otherwise, it would query other domain name servers (may through Root domain name servers and/or other authoritative) to get DNS records, then update its database/cache and also reply you.
