Name Server (DNS) Lookup - Apple

A name server lookup (also referred to as an nslookup or a DNS lookup) provides the IP address assigned to a domain name from your local connection. This the address your Internet Service Provider is using for the given domain or hostname.

Recent changes to your DNS records or name servers may not be reflected in an nslookup. Depending on your Internet Service Provider, old DNS data could be cached for anywhere between 15 minutes and 48 hours.
