Hi;

 

How can I read the OPT PSEUDOSECTION in the following dig message response. Note there is a Zscaler client on the device that did the dig.

 

dig @ns1.infoblox.com lame.training.infoblox.com.

Hello Wasfi,

The pseudo section decode is included by DiG in the output -those pseudo section are extended error messages.  See the portion in quotes at the end of each OPT.  So, the first extended error code says: "[68.183.207.1] rcode=REFUSED for lame.training.infoblox.com/a" and the second says, "At delegation lame.training.infoblox.com for lame.training.infoblox.com/a"
