ip visible

[online_er]

Hi,

I have in my dns this:

ns1.example.com. A **.***.*.* ip1
ns2.example.com. A **.***.*.** ip2

and I have

example.com. NS ns2.example.com.
example.com. NS ns2.example.com.

When I go to whois, and I search for my domain, I see after the nameserver the ip of ns1 and ns2, is this normal ?

Thanx for your help,
J/B

Some domain registrars show it. Some show it and don't ever update it even when you do. It's something you should not rely on, because it's not necessarily the same as is actually held in the root servers.

The proper way to find the nameservers for example.com is not to use whois, but rather to use:

dig example.com ns +short

Then you can look up the IP#s for those nameservers with individual dig commands.

Please see this for more information.
