DNS lookup

Check DNS records across public resolvers with a dig-style answer view.

About DNS lookup

DNS Lookup runs a DNS-over-HTTPS query for the record type you pick and shows the answers, TTLs, response flags, and DNSSEC data. It reads records rather than editing them.

Only the lookup query is sent to an external service. No files are uploaded.

How to use it

1.Type a domain name on its own, without a scheme or a path, and pick the record type.
2.Run the query and read the answer, the authority section, the response code, the TTL, and the validation data.
3.Compare it against the change you made, and account for caches before calling it propagated.

Options

Record types cover addresses, mail, aliases, text records, authority, and DNSSEC.
A raw response view is there for when the summary is not enough.

Limitations

The query goes to an external DNS-over-HTTPS resolver, so this one needs a network connection.
A resolver's cached answer can lag the authoritative servers, and resolvers elsewhere can disagree for a while.

Common questions

Why do I still see the old record?

A resolver serves its cached copy until the TTL runs out, and different caches expire at different times.

Does a DNSSEC record mean the answer was validated?

Not on its own. Validation needs an unbroken chain of trust, valid signatures, an algorithm the resolver supports, and the resolver reporting the data as authenticated.
