If I remember correctly DNS servers round-robin that info, host is probably just returning in the same order the server did. Dig returns a similar pattern of ordering. $ host -t ns jeah.net jeah.net name server NS1.jeah.net jeah.net name server NS2.jeah.net $ host -t ns jeah.net jeah.net name server NS1.jeah.net jeah.net name server NS2.jeah.net $ host -t ns jeah.net jeah.net name server NS2.jeah.net jeah.net name server NS1.jeah.net $ host -t ns jeah.net jeah.net name server NS2.jeah.net jeah.net name server NS1.jeah.net -Shadow shadow@gti.net On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Chris Johnson wrote: > > [chris@shell] [~]$ host -t ns jeah.net > > jeah.net name server ns2.jeah.net > > jeah.net name server ns1.jeah.net > > [chris@shell] [~]$ host -t ns kirenet.com > > kirenet.com name server NS2.kirenet.com > > kirenet.com name server NS1.kirenet.com > > [chris@shell] [~]$ > > > > Is there any reason that they appear in descending order? > > What's descending about the order?
