I have two linux servers and i'm trying to access them remotely. I know the ip of the first server but i forgot the ip of the other one.
I'm trying to use nslookup, I did
nslookup server2
and the output was:
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: server2
Address: 90.222.143.15
and then i tried to use it again but with server1 and I got the same output...
Anyway, why is the output the same for both server? is nslookup the better option to find out the ip of the other linux server that i have? What other option can I use?

Try using ping instead:
$ ping server2
nslookup and ping use different techniques for name resolution.
