I came upon a nice assortment of information on DNS, DIG, testing and so forth by Prabhu Balakrishnan.

Just wanted to post these couple specific links. The first one has several related articles Prabhu wrote at the bottom of the page.

Troubleshooting Common DNS Misconfiguration Errors
Using Dig tool for DNS lookups and Nameserver query

I've only begun to use dig but it's truly a great tool. I've only run a few checks on different occasions with the fancy DNS testing websites and all are saying my IP has been used exceedingly, etc. Couldn't possibly have been more than 10 runs over the course of a month, 6 weeks.

DIG education obtained from the above link help me to work through and better grasp a couple nagging DNS concerns in about 30-45 mins.
