Which forwarder is resolving request

[Tim Kelley]

Is there any way to tell which forwarder is resolving a request? If I do a
nslookup it always returns the local dns server.

Thanks.

Hello Tim,

Did you try tracert to a specific web address? You should get an info about
the first used servers, maybe not all.

tracert www.whatever.com

As it should always return the local DNS server. Clients do not and should
not directly access forwarders, the client accesses the local server only.
The local DNS server will access the forwarder itself, and I've never
thought of a way to find out which Forwarder, if any, provided the answer.

Hi Kevin,

Been awhile since we spoke. Hope all is well.

The only way I can think of to figure out which forwarder is being used is
to sit there and capture packets.

Hi Kevin,

Yes, it has been a long while, seems like the last time we spoke you were on
the road to Georgia, if you can remember when that was. It's kinda weird you
bring this up, I was thinking of calling you the other day over an Exchange
issue, the problem is that your numbers were saved in my old cell that up
and died on me.

You are correct, a packet capture will do it, I assumed Tim was asking if
the DNS server logged this info.
