In this hands-on project, you test name resolution using your ISP’s DNS server.
1. Switch to a command-line terminal (tty2) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and log in to the terminal using the user name of root and the password of secret.
2. At the command prompt, type host ftp.kernel.org and press Enter. What IP address was returned for ftp.kernel.org? Is there another name for ftp.kernel.org?
3. At the command prompt, type nslookup ftp.kernel.org and press Enter. How do you know that this information came from your ISP’s DNS server?
4. At the command prompt, type the command dig ftp.kernel.org and press Enter. What additional information does dig provide compared with the nslookup and host utilities?
5. Type exit and press Enter to log out of your shell.
