Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What DNS record types are supported?

The tool supports all standard DNS record types including A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (aliases), MX (mail servers), NS (name servers), TXT (text records), SOA (start of authority), SRV (service records), and PTR (reverse lookups).

Q

How long does DNS lookup take?

DNS lookups are typically very fast, usually completing in under a second. Some lookups may take longer if DNS servers are slow to respond.

Q

Can I lookup any domain?

Yes, you can lookup DNS records for any publicly accessible domain. The tool queries standard DNS servers to retrieve records.

Q

What's the difference between A and AAAA records?

A records contain IPv4 addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), while AAAA records contain IPv6 addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8::1). Both point domains to IP addresses but use different IP versions.
