Every time I use dig
I get a vague feeling that I'm not really sure whether it's giving me correct data.
Now I've used it like this:
# dig socialimpactportfolio.com
; <<>> DiG 9.8.4-rpz2+rl005.12-P1 <<>> socialimpactportfolio.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

As you can see, there is no ANSWER
section, despite the fact that there's a working website on that domain.
Why?
I'd really like a program that simply shows all the DNS records in the most non-confusing manner.
