A fellow co-worker showed me this iPad app for “dig” called digHD, and I have to say it’s great. I downloaded it immediately and started playing with it…VERY cool and helpful. Of course I prefer using DIG at the commandline in Linux or Windows, but this will do when I don’t have commandline access.  You can do a lot of DNS troubleshooting with this, and it’s both flexible and easy to use.  It does cost $2.99, but well worth it.  Here is a screenshot…

Enjoy!!  (And yes, I do need to get my iPad plugged in quickly!)
