Hi, 

As you see, 

~$ idig aws.amazon.com ns 
aws.amazon.com. 587 IN NS ns-911.amazon.com. 

~$ idig aws.amazon.com soa 
aws.amazon.com. 60 IN SOA ns-911.amazon.com. 
root.amazon.com. 1449536989 3600 900 7776000 60 

~$ idig ns-911.amazon.com 
ns-911.amazon.com. 197 IN A 207.171.178.6 
I’ve got different results, probably due to Amazon using anycast:

;aws.amazon.com.			IN	NS

;; ANSWER SECTION:

aws.amazon.com.		446	IN	NS	ec2-52-19-138-45.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com.



and

Do you know why this well known domain has only one nameserver, and it 
seems the nameserver has only one IP? 


Again, Amazon using Anycast, that does not mean everyone is going to the same name server,

but that’s nevertheless weird.



Cheers,
