DNS diagnostic

DNS record lookup

Query one supported record type through the server's resolver. Results can differ during propagation and between resolvers.

Result

Choose A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS or TXT. The command is limited to ten seconds and 64 KB of displayed output.

How to read the record types

A and AAAA

Map a name to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

CNAME

Aliases one name to another canonical name.

MX

Lists mail exchangers with priorities.

NS and TXT

Show authoritative name servers or published text such as verification and email-policy records.

For protocol definitions, see RFC 1034 and RFC 1035. The submitted name is processed server-side and may be sent to upstream DNS infrastructure; do not submit secrets.
