traceroute6 ipv6.idrobot.net

Lookup AAAA record.

1
dig AAAA ipv6.idrobot.net

dig AAAA ipv6.idrobot.net


IPv6 DIG PTR reccord.

1
dig -x 2001:470:1f0b:1604::254

dig -x 2001:470:1f0b:1604::254

Check redirector.name glue records by dig command.
As it is a .name domain first we should check root servers for .net by the following command:

1
dig NS name

dig NS name

You will get 10 root servers:

You can choose any root server for next query , I will take g6.nstld.com

1
dig ns1.redirector.name @g6.nstld.com

dig ns1.redirector.name @g6.nstld.com
