Solved [SOLVED] [DNS] DIG can't resolve but HOST and NSLOOKUP can

[banderas20]

Hi!

I have set up a bind9 local DNS with rescursion turned off.

From the DNS server, if I query google.es using DIG it returns:

;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

However, if I use HOST, it works:

google.es has address 216.58.215.131

Same happens with NSLOOKUP

nslookup google.es
;; Got recursion not available from 172.17.70.1, trying next server
Server: 212.230.135.2
Address: 212.230.135.2#53

I expected neither of them to succeed.

Why this behaviour?

Thanks!

Found out the solution. I had 3 DNS servers and the default behaviour of dig is to only use the first one.

Thank you for sharing, I'm digging often but didn't know this.
