Hi,

Thank you very much for the 'soa' command, it was exactly what I was looking for. One question I had though was is there a way to format what prints out in a human readable format? And I actually found the answer elsewhere and thought I'd add it here:

#:~$ dig soa tech-recipes.com @8.8.4.4 +multiline

; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R3 <<>> soa tech-recipes.com @8.8.4.4 +multiline
;; global options: +cmd
