    After configuring a DNS zone and the associated records, it is important to test the configuration by sending a few DNS queries prior to pointing your traffic to the IBM NS1 Connect Managed DNS name servers. The way to do that can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ns1-connect?topic=started-configuring-ns1-as-primary-dns-provider.

    If you've built a traffic steering/GSLB configuration with filter chains, you might want to check out this page that explains how to test it using dig.
