Do you have any references for this functionality? I’ve never encountered something like that in the RFCs, or in any server.

- kaared 6y agoI believe you're referring to DNS zone transfer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_zone_transfer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_zone_transfer and https://serverfault.com/questions/890153/how-does-nslookup-ls-work https://serverfault.com/questions/890153/how-does-nslookup-l...).
- sperwren 6y agoSo presumably nslookup -ls had some logic for finding the apex for a particular name, doing an AXFR and then filtering it to the the target name and below?
- jbverschoor 6y agoYeah, I think it was for zone transfers. It was pretty fun discovering 'private' hosts :-)
