dns - Understanding dig output - will this redirect a browser? -
I am trying to set a subdomain elstest1 on my example.com domain to redirect to a fixed IP. After following some instructions on the web, I have created a DNS record.
Currently, if I do this:
dig elstest1.example.com
I am getting:
... ... ;; Answer section: elstest1.example.com.
(IP address is hidden)
Will you take me to the IP address above?
This is not working at present, but it should be expected because the web server is not + I have just made DNS changes, etc. But I have to make sure that the above DNS settings are those they need.
First of all, you made a nickname, not a redirect. The alias indicates the IP, does not redirect it. Actually, all the domain names are there.
Second, changing DNS records take some time. From 15 minutes to 1-2 days This is because there are so many DNS servers in the world, and they all have to be updated.
Will I be taken to the above IP address?
In fact, your ISP will be updated after the DNS.
