Verification of SRV records through dig or nslookup

[Thomas Renzy]

All,

I've set up DNS to allow updates of SRV records to my DNS server in a lab
from an Active Directory environment. I see them below by looking directly
at the file

cat db.veritas.com
<SNIP>
$ORIGIN _tcp.veritas.com.
_kpasswd        600     IN      SRV             0 100 464
svladr01-lab.veritas.com.     ;Cl=2
        600     IN      SRV             0 100 464 svladr02-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
_ldap   600     IN      SRV             0 100 389 svladr01-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
        600     IN      SRV             0 100 389 svladr02-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
_gc     600     IN      SRV             0 100 3268 svladr01-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
_kerberos       600     IN      SRV             0 100 88
svladr01-lab.veritas.com.      ;Cl=2
        600     IN      SRV             0 100 88 svladr02-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
$ORIGIN _udp.veritas.com.
_kpasswd        600     IN      SRV             0 100 464
svladr01-lab.veritas.com.     ;Cl=2
        600     IN      SRV             0 100 464 svladr02-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
_kerberos       600     IN      SRV             0 100 88
svladr01-lab.veritas.com.      ;Cl=2
        600     IN      SRV             0 100 88 svladr02-lab.veritas.com.
;Cl=2
<SNIP>

How do I check them using dig or nslookup? I've tried using dig @localhost
srv _kpasswd_tcp.veritas.com.
but to no avail. What is the correct way to check that the SRV records have
been updated in DNS?

Thanks,
