First, find out the name server(s) for the domain name in question:
dig wikipedia.comLook under the “AUTHORITY SECTION”:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
wikipedia.com. 163475 IN NS ns2.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 163475 IN NS ns1.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 163475 IN NS ns0.wikimedia.org.In this case wikipedia.com has 3 name servers: ns0.wikimedia.org, ns1.wikimedia.org and ns2.wikimedia.org. Now we can query one of these three servers for the subdomains of wikipedia.com:
dig @ns1.wikimedia.org wikipedia.com axfrHere is what we get back (the list is rather long, so I have truncated it quite a bit);
; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> @ns1.wikimedia.org wikipedia.com axfr
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd
wikipedia.com. 3600 IN A 208.80.152.2
wikipedia.com. 86400 IN NS ns0.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 3600 IN MX 50 lists.wikimedia.org.
wikipedia.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mchenry.wikimedia.org.
aa.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.
aa.mobile.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.
aa.wap.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.
ab.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.
ab.mobile.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.
ab.wap.wikipedia.com. 3600 IN CNAME rr.wikimedia.org.

...Note: Not all dns servers will allow axfr protocol queiries. Those will return “Transfer failed”.
Find out the subdomains of a given domain name with dig
hello, how are you?
i see you use captcha too 🙂 to disable spam 😉
so here goes the question:
what option should be enabled that my bind would pass this info for all domains…
You can use :
http://www.wholinks.org
to get a list of all subdomains ….
You can also find subdomains using this page:
http://www.magic-net.info/dns-and-ip-tools.php
If zone transfer is not possible, this tool will use search engine results.
can also try it here:
http://ipaddress-whois.com/dig_dns_lookup
search for SOA DNS first,
then search for axfr records.
use this info to find all the subdomains
