Question How can I find DNS servers in a request?

[Shervan360]

Hi,

Suppose we are going to open the Google site. How can I find DNS servers in the path? (from my PC to each DNS server, like tracert) Check the DNS servers of the route.
Do we have any command to check it? like tracert

Thank you

A Windows client will check in this order:
1. Hosts file
2. DNS resolver cache ( if still cached and ttl not expired)
3. DNS servers, configured in the TCP/IP settings.

The simple answer - When you make a connection to a remote site, your computer only does a DNS lookup ONE time. That single DNS lookup returns the IP address of the host you are connecting to. From there, your computer sends a request across the Internet, going through a number of hops on the way. You can see the hops that the path will take with the tracert command, as you mentioned.

Think of DNS as like a phone book - You use it to lookup a phone number of someone you want to call. You then dial that number with your phone and your call is sent across the phone network to the phone on the other end.
