Hi Randy, In addition, whether it's the configuration or the IP address used by the probe for a query as Hugo suggested, this would only give you the entry point into the resolution path (and sometimes will be a private IP address of a simple forwarder). But you can query for TXT record for whoami.ds.akahelp.net, which will return you the IP address of the egress resolver. Misha

Hi Randy. I don't know if you can check the config, but if you launch a DNS measurement taking care to define use_probe_resolver:true, then in the dst_addr field of the results you will have the IP that it used as the resolver.

so i wanted info about a probe's config, specifically what dns resolver(s) it is using. i could not figure out how to do this. assuming it was a lack of clueons, i asked a friend with far deeper atlas fu. they said such queries are not available. really?
[ yes we have bright ideas on how to discover this indirectly by mining past data ]
but really?
