DIG tells you which server returned the results. Look for the SERVER line, should be third from the bottom. If you want to query specific nameservers directly, use dig like this:
dig @ns1.myserver domainname.com dig @ns2.myserver domainname.com
etc, etc.

Hi all
If I do a "dig mydomain.co.za" from a Linux server, how do I know which DNS nameserver returns the queries?
I seem to have a faulty DNS server, but can't see which one, so I want to find out which nameserver (if there's 4 - ns1.myserver, ns2.myserver, ns3.myserver & ns4.myserver) returns the queries?
