You can verify that an S Series Node primary zone is working properly from either a Windows command-prompt window or a Unix shell. In both cases, you can use either the dig or nslookup command, depending on which is available.
The syntax for verifying the primary zone configuration is:
{dig|nslookup} {admin|mapi|hs3|*}.node-domain-name
The response to this command should be a list of the server module IP addresses specified for the requested interface in the S Series Node forward lookup zone.
Here's an example of the command and response in Windows:
C:\>nslookup admin.s-node-1.example.com
Server: dnsserver.example.com
Address: 10.0.201.55
Name: admin.s-node-1.example.com
Addresses: 10.0.0.3
10.0.0.4
If you don't see the expected IP addresses, the zone is not defined correctly.
