# Author:	E.Wassenaar, Nikhef-H
# Version:	09-OCT-1994
# Revision:	08-JAN-1995, Make sure servers come from NS records
#
# This utility looks up the MX and A records for a given domain name
# at each of the authoritative servers for the zone it belongs to.
# The printout shows whether or not the servers have the same notion.
# Too often mail is bounced with a "No address or MX record" message
# whereas the mail address is perfectly valid. Usually this happens
# when one of the servers turns out to be misconfigured and the data
# was retrieved unfortunately from just that server.
#
# With the -t option you can verify resource records of another type
# at each of the servers. The -v option shows the SOA record and the
# NS records of the zone to which the given domain name belongs.
# The -r option disables nameserver recursion at the contacted servers.
