FQDN for nameserver

[m_a2]

Hello,

I am looking for the FQDN for my name server and my name servers ip address.

Can someone please guide me on how am I able to find these using terminal?

Thank you

that should have the IP. Using DNS names for a nameserver is NOT DONE. Of course, network-manager may do something completely different. I don't use it.

Assuming the nameserver is on the public internet, after you get its IP address, you can try:

host ip.that.you.found
If the host is properly configured with both forward and reverse nameservice, you'll get the server's name in response.
