Trace a chain of DNS servers to the source

WHAT IS DNSTRACER?

dnstracer determines where a given Domain Name Server DNS gets its information from, and follows the chain of DNS servers back to the servers which know the data.

Its behaviour is similar to ntptrace8, which does it for the NTP protocol.
