About DNS Records

DNS (Domain Name System) records are instructions that live in authoritative DNS servers and provide information about a domain including what IP address is associated with that domain and how to handle requests for that domain.

Common DNS Record Types:
  • A Record - Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address
  • AAAA Record - Maps a domain name to an IPv6 address
  • NS Record - Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers
  • MX Record - Specifies mail servers responsible for accepting email
  • TXT Record - Contains text information for sources outside your domain
  • SOA Record - Specifies core information about a DNS zone
TTL (Time To Live)

The TTL value is specified in seconds and tells DNS resolvers how long to cache the record before requesting a fresh copy from the DNS server.

About DNS Record Lookup Tool

Check all DNS records for a domain including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and more.

Query authoritative or recursive DNS data for a domain and inspect the records that direct web, mail, verification, and delegation traffic.

Key features

  • Diagnostic scope Query authoritative or recursive DNS data for a domain and inspect the records that direct web, mail, verification, and delegation traffic.
  • Target input Enter a hostname or domain without a URL path; choose a record type such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, or CAA.
  • Checks to review Select the record type and resolver options offered by the page, then compare answers, TTL values, priorities, and targets.
  • Diagnostic result The result lists returned records and metadata useful for deployment checks, mail diagnostics, and DNS troubleshooting.

How to use DNS Record Lookup Tool

Follow this workflow to work with DNS records safely and accurately.

  1. Enter the target Enter a hostname or domain without a URL path; choose a record type such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, or CAA.
  2. Select the diagnostic scope Select the record type and resolver options offered by the page, then compare answers, TTL values, priorities, and targets.
  3. Run the network check Run the DNS records diagnostic and retain status, timing, returned values, and the observation point needed to reproduce it.
  4. Correlate the result The result lists returned records and metadata useful for deployment checks, mail diagnostics, and DNS troubleshooting.

Usage tips

  • Query the exact hostname in question; apex, www, mail, and subdomains can have different records.
  • Allow for TTL and resolver caching after a DNS change.
  • For delegation problems, compare parent-zone NS/glue with the child zone and authoritative answers.

A single resolver response is a snapshot and may be cached, filtered, geographically different, or affected by split-horizon DNS. It does not by itself prove global propagation.
