distributed-dig is a command line utility which makes DNS lookup requests across multiple, geographically dispersed, DNS resolvers and collates the results.

Useful for checking if a DNS record has been fully propagated, or for querying the origins behind an AWS Route 53 / Azure Traffic Manager DNS record (or any other DNS-based load balancing solution).
