How to dig a domain using a specific DNS

You can dig a domain using a specific DNS server by adding the @ [DNS server] after the dig command. By default, dig will use the local configuration if the DNS is not specified.

For example, the following command will specify digging the example.com domain using Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8:

dig @8.8.8.8 example.com

The result is:

C: \Users \asus>dig @8.8.8.8 example.com

; <‹>> DiG 9.16.33 <‹>> @8.8.8.8 example.com
; (1 server found)
