![]() Please tell me what you like and don’t like. I don’t foresee too many changes other than a more idiosyncratic posting schedule probably more recipes, more YouTube and maybe a bit more about what I have been up to on a personal level. You should be able to share more easily (and please do!) see my Twitter and read what I have been writing in other places. We (by we, I mean the most talented Schmutzie) have made the blog more functional and prettied it up. Embrace the Chaos has been refreshed, revitalized and no more MSN safety-net. ![]() This makes me a very good passenger a team player, a co-author, a partner of a bossy husband, a best friend of an overly-competent woman.īut here I am in Chaos, the master of my domain (no Seinfeld pun intended, but I will leave it) literally. She said I just had to get behind the wheel and drive with confidence.Ī classic Seinfeld, but not what I am referring to.Īnd while I can fake it most of the time, being a master of my own destiny is not something that I am comfortable with. When I was in my 20s and waffling about what to do with my life, a smart woman implied to me that my fear of driving was similar to my fear of taking control of my life. I’m not sure I will ever be comfortable behind the wheel though. But since I have a car and am a bit of a teetotaler I often end up driving places. I’m okay, but I’m not aggressive or decisive and I prefer to be the passenger. This all means that I am not a very good driver. I don’t like not being able to see or the unpredictability of other drivers. ![]() I don’t like when the ABS brakes kick in and I slide through Stop signs. I live in fear of that one-second that will change my life (and someone else’s) forever. The truth is, I am really afraid of something bad happening and it will be my fault. I’m not being truthful, I’m not really scared of having a fender-bender. In fact, just writing this is giving me that anxious feeling that lives in the pit of my stomach and kicks my heart rate into high gear. But I am always anticipating the crunch of another car grinding into my passenger door. This all works much better/reliable with linux and dig than with nslookup/windows.I do it anyways because I am lazy and there are things in life that need to be driven to, like gymnastics and skiing and my mother’s house for dinner. When you have reliable information about the SOA from the TLD authoritative server, you can then query the primary name server itself authoritative (the one thats in the SOA record on the gTLD nameserver!) for any other NS records, and then proceed with checking all those name servers you've got from querying the NS records, to see if there is any inconsistency for any other particular record, on any of those servers. (The information about which server is authoritative for which TLD can be queried from the root name servers). You need to query the server that is authoritative for the top level domain to obtain reliable SOA information for a given child domain. The SOA record on the authoritative server itself is, on the other hand, not strictly needed for resolving that domain, and can contain bogus info (or hidden primary, or otherwise restricted servers) and should not be relied on to determine the authoritative name server for a given domain. SOA records are present on all servers further up the hierarchy, over which the domain owner has NO control, and they all in effect point to the one authoritative name server under control of the domain owner. Here, the two authoritative name servers have the same serial number. The source code is available in % check_soa To check discrepencies between name servers, my preference goes to the old check_soa tool, described in Liu & Albitz "DNS & BIND" book (O'Reilly editor). To find out the server listed as primary (the notion of "primary" is quite fuzzy these days and typically has no good answer): % dig +short SOA | cut -d' ' -f1 To find out the name servers of a domain on Unix: % dig +short NS The secondary name servers are authoritative. Unless you mean "primary name server" and not "authoritative name server". You used the singular in your question but there are typically several authoritative name servers, the RFC 1034 recommends at least two.
