| So far, we've been using the dig command throughout this book to check our DNS handiwork. It stands for Domain Information Groper (ew) and it's sole job is to get information about DNS records. This thing is our swiss army knife for DNS debugging. | |||

Added an nslookup section |

Skimmed it. Looks good. Maybe mention that the reason to use it is Windows again when you say not to use it. |
This is provided as a quick intro to the distributed nature of DNS so that the responses and reasons that follow actually make some sense.
I think this will end up being wondered about. It certainly was by me. Unfortunately the results aren't as good as you might hope for, but the answer I still think is pretty interesting.
Here's a bunch of things that aren't necessary to use dig or to configure a domain name, but useful stuff none-the-less. It's certainly all things that I really wondered about when I went looking into all of this.

This is still a work in progress as I plan to add more sections, but I wanted to get this up here.
I'm struggling with how to present dig. This chapter is supposed to be about debugging, and dig is a great tool to use. But I'm finding my self in a bit of circular logic where you
Maybe I'm over thinking it and this is fine, but I'm currently too close.
