I already wrote about verifying your own or ISP recursive resolvers using dig command under Linux and UNIX. However, most windows users don't have dig command installed. You can use nslookup command as follows (open dos prompt by visiting Start > Run > type "cmd" > Enter:
nslookup -type=txt -timeout=30 porttest.dns-oarc.net
nslookup -type=txt -timeout=30 porttest.dns-oarc.net ns1.your-isp.com
nslookup -type=txt -timeout=30 porttest.dns-oarc.net NS-SERVER-IP
You must see the word GOOD otherwise your dns is open to attack.
