[ILUG] TOTD: checking for authorative nameservers

Er, you didn't actually _use_ www.dnsreport.com, did you?  It gives one
heck of a lot more information than that.

The www.dnsdoctor.org CGI is inflexible, for starters:  It insists that 
it can check only zone deirdre.ORG (one of my wife's domains), because 
it thinks our wireless base station (from which my laptop reaches the
Internet) belongs to that domain.  The CGI then gives pretty paltry
results for my wife's DNS -- which, it turns out, are largely wrong, at
that.

I'm rather less than impressed, really.
