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.

- 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.
