NetworkEDGE RESOLUTION

DNS Lookup

Query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and NS records for any domain in one lookup.

Technical Specification & Reference

What this tool does

Queries a domain's DNS records — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, and CNAME — and returns everything currently published, all in one lookup instead of running separate queries for each record type.

When you'd use this

Confirming a DNS change has actually taken effect, verifying a new server's IP is correctly published before cutting over traffic, checking that a domain's mail routing (MX) and verification (TXT) records are set up as expected, or simply auditing what's publicly published for a domain you manage.

Why results can lag a recent change

DNS records are cached for the duration of their TTL (time-to-live) by resolvers between you and the authoritative nameservers. A record with a 3600-second TTL can take up to an hour to be consistently visible everywhere after a change, even though the authoritative server itself already has the new value — this is normal DNS propagation, not a sign the change failed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this show different results than my local `nslookup`?

Your local resolver may have a cached (stale) answer from before a recent change. This tool queries fresh each time, so it reflects the current published records rather than a locally cached copy.
