DNS server does not answer by name, the name you give it is only an alias
for its IP address. You can create any host name you want for a DNS server
by creating a host record for the IP DNS listens on. For DNS servers to be
used for public domain hosting you should create a host name for the IP DNS
listens on in a registered domain you have control of.
If you want your DNS to be known as ns.mydomain.com and you own mydomain.com
in your mydomain.com zone create a host named ns for the IP DNS listens on,
this will be your local glue record then in the public parent servers create
a host for ns.mydomain.com with the IP your DNS listens on.
Sorry to be so long, but there is no simple answer, it is not like a website
or a mail server that answers to a specific name, DNS just has a listening
IP address.

Kevin, you think, perhaps, he's asking for how to check the authoritative NS
for his domain?
like:
nslookup
set q=ns
domainname.whatever
Just guessing. Otherwise, methinks the easiest way to get the "name" of his
"dns server" would be to just look in the DNS console

No it is not the ISP, the parent servers are the gTLD servers for .com,
..org, .net, .us, or what ever the TLD is.

What exactly are you looking for? Can you post your domain name so we can
check and test what you're trying to do?
If using nslookup to try to find the authorative nameservers, try this:
nslookup
set type=ns
mydomain.com
(the answer shows up here)

Ace, this is what i'm looking. Sorry for making some confusion. I've
noticed that all answer were Non-authoritative, is it because my dns

I'm glad Ace was able to get the right answer for you, this is why it is
important that your questions are clear as to what you want.
That said, the reson why you are getting non-authoritative answers is
because the DNS you are querying does not have the answer, it is getting the
answer elsewhere. Either from cached queries, or even directly from the
authoritative DNS.
If you want authoritative answer you have to make the query directly to an
authoritative DNS server.
Here is an example of each:
Non-authoritative:
W:\>nslookup
Default Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
Address: 192.168.0.2
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: microsoft.com
Addresses: 207.46.130.108, 207.46.250.119
Authoritative:
W:\>nslookup
Default Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2
Address: 207.46.245.230
Address: 207.46.245.230
Name: microsoft.com
Addresses: 207.46.250.119, 207.46.130.108

Kevin responded to your answers.
I just want to add, we are always trying to help anyone who posts here.
I do notice you post alot, which is very good! There's no way to find out
the answer to something if you don't ask a question!!
One thing I would like to ask of you Daniel, in the future, when you post
again,. its very IMPORTANT to be very SPECIFIC and provide DETAILS and
ELABORATE when you post a question. This will help us to help you.
Otherwise if you don't provide details and be specific, it will lead to
numerous questions from us asking to be specific and just takes longer for
you to get the answer you;re looking for.
Just trying to help out.
Have a nice day!
Thanks!!

IT is not an error but a message saying you do not have a reverse zone or
there is no PTR entry for the IP address of your DNS server.
This message HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEBSITE. It is an nslookup message,
nothing else.
To fix it, change the 127.0.0.1 to the actual IP address of your server.
Make sure you have a reverse zone created for subnet of the actual IP
address of your DNS server. Make sure you have a PTR entry for your DNS
server in this reverse zone.

Remove 127.0.0.1 from the NIC and put in the IP address of the internal NIC
that DNS is listening on.
If nslookup still reports "Can't find server name for <ipaddress>" then you
need to take a look at your reverse lookup zone. If you need to post back
about the nslookup message, post the entire unedited message so we can give
you instructions on what you need.
