Is it possible to query a specific DSN server for a web page?

Question

I have the IP address of the DNS server from the WebHost. Since we do not own the Domain Name (Its the client's DN) I would like to query the WebHost DNS directly to see if it works before asking the client to point his DN to the WebHost DNS.

Am I missing something here? I'm kinda confused when it comes to configures online services.

Answer 1

From Windows Command Prompt:

nslookup
server x.x.x.x (put the WebHost DNS IP address there)
www.yourdomain.com  (type the name of the domain you want resolved)
quit
