DNS Checker

Free, no signup. Ask three public resolvers the same DNS question. When their answers differ, you can see the propagation evidence instead of guessing.

For PTR, enter either a reverse DNS name or an IPv4 address. Each resolver is queried independently.

Checks run from our server; we fetch the URL you enter and don't keep the results. Queries use Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9 DNS-over-HTTPS. Results are cached briefly (about one minute) so this is not an instant authoritative DNS check. Anonymous run-level outcome counters may be used for aggregate research; URLs, domains, IPs, and identifiers are never included, and no statistic is released below 100 runs.

Sample report

Illustrative example — fixed resolver answers

  • Cloudflare: A 192.0.2.10 (TTL 300s)
  • Google: A 192.0.2.10 (TTL 240s)
  • Quad9: A 192.0.2.20 (TTL 300s)

Signal to review: resolver answers differ. This can be propagation, split-horizon behavior, or a resolver issue; it is not automatically a bad zone.

How to use it

  1. Enter a domain or DNS name and select the record type.
  2. Choose Look up DNS to query Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9 independently.
  3. Compare answer values and TTLs, then review mismatch or resolver-error flags.
  4. Use the copyable zone-file reference for notes only; edit real records at the authoritative DNS provider.

What the results mean

Matching values across three recursive resolvers are consistency evidence. Different TTLs alone are normal as caches age. A value mismatch means the resolver views differ. A DNS status or network failure belongs only to that resolver and is not converted into a clean answer.

How it works

The browser sends three parallel DNS-over-HTTPS requests through the bounded endpoint. The response preserves each resolver’s status, typed answers, TTLs, authority context, and errors. Deterministic comparison rules flag differing values or unavailable resolvers, explain the selected record and response status in plain language, identify a small curated set of provider-controlled hostnames only when they appear in returned records, and convert observed answers into zone-style text.

Features

  • Eleven common record types including PTR and SRV.
  • Side-by-side Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9 results.
  • Plain-language record and DNS status explanations.
  • Evidence-led delivery and email-service hints from returned hostnames.
  • TTL, resolver status, and propagation flags.
  • Copyable observed-answer reference.

Limitations

These are cached recursive views, not direct authoritative queries, and results are briefly cached by this service. Provider hints cover only a small curated hostname set and do not prove an account is active or reveal an origin. The tool does not trace delegation, edit records, validate DNSSEC chains, test every geographic resolver, or prove the cause of a mismatch.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the three resolvers disagree?

Different recursive resolvers can retain old answers until their TTL expires. A mismatch can indicate propagation, split-horizon DNS, or a resolver failure; it is not by itself proof of a misconfiguration.

Does the zone-file export change DNS?

No. It is a copyable representation of observed answers, not an authoritative export and never a write to your DNS provider.

Which DNS record types can I check?

The checker supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, SRV, and PTR. PTR accepts an IPv4 address or a reverse-DNS name.

Are these authoritative DNS answers?

No. Cloudflare, Google, and Quad9 are recursive resolvers. Their cached view is useful for propagation checks, but the domain’s authoritative nameservers are the source of record truth.

حول الأداة

ينظر up DNS سجلات جانب بواسطة جانب مع Cloudflare, Google, و Quad9 resolvers إلى موضع propagation فروق, ثم نسخ مرصود إجابات باعتباره واحد zone-file مرجع.

مجاني, من دون تسجيل. يسأل three عام resolvers ال نفس DNS سؤال. عندما الخاص بهم إجابات يختلف, أنت يمكن انظر ال propagation دليل بدلًا من تخمين.

الميزات

  • عشرة شائع سجل أنواع بما في ذلك PTR و SRV.
  • Side-by-side Cloudflare, Google, و Quad9 نتائج.
  • لغة واضحة سجل و DNS حالة الشروحات.
  • Evidence-led تسليم و email-service تلميحات من مُعاد hostnames.
  • TTL, resolver حالة, و propagation علامات.
  • Copyable observed-answer مرجع.

كيفية العمل

مطابق قيم عبر three recursive resolvers هي اتساق دليل. مختلف TTLs بمفرده هي عادي باعتباره ذاكرات مؤقتة age. واحد قيمة عدم تطابق يعني ال resolver عروض يختلف. واحد DNS حالة أو شبكة فشل ينتمي فقط إلى ذلك resolver و هو ليس محوّل إلى واحد نظيف إجابة. ال متصفح يرسل three parallel DNS-over-HTTPS طلبات من خلال ال محدود نقطة نهاية. ال استجابة يحافظ على كل resolver’s حالة, مكتوب إجابات, TTLs, سلطة سياق, و أخطاء. حتمي مقارنة قواعد علامة differing قيم أو غير متاح resolvers, اشرح ال مختار سجل و استجابة حالة في عادي لغة, حدّد واحد صغير curated مجموعة من provider-controlled hostnames فقط عندما هم يظهر في مُعاد سجلات, و يحوّل مرصود إجابات إلى zone-style نص.

القيود

  • هذه هي مخزّن مؤقتًا recursive عروض, ليس مباشر authoritative استعلامات, و نتائج هي briefly مخزّن مؤقتًا بواسطة هذا خدمة. مزود تلميحات يغطي فقط واحد صغير curated hostname مجموعة و يفعل ليس يثبت واحد حساب هو نشط أو يكشف واحد الأصل. ال الأداة يفعل ليس تتبع delegation, حرّر سجلات, تحقّق DNSSEC سلاسل, اختبار كل geographic resolver, أو يثبت ال سبب من واحد عدم تطابق.

الأسئلة الشائعة

لماذا يفعل ال three resolvers يختلف?

مختلف recursive resolvers يمكن يحتفظ بـ قديم إجابات حتى الخاص بهم TTL expires. واحد عدم تطابق يمكن يشير propagation, split-horizon DNS, أو واحد resolver فشل; إنه هو ليس بواسطة نفسه دليل من واحد misconfiguration.

يفعل ال zone-file تصدير غيّر DNS?

لا. إنه هو واحد copyable تمثيل من مرصود إجابات, ليس واحد authoritative تصدير و أبدًا واحد اكتب إلى الخاص بك DNS مزود.

أي DNS سجل أنواع يمكن I تحقّق?

ال فاحص يدعم واحد, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, SRV, و PTR. PTR accepts واحد IPv4 address أو واحد reverse-DNS اسم.

هي هذه authoritative DNS إجابات?

لا. Cloudflare, Google, و Quad9 هي recursive resolvers. الخاص بهم مخزّن مؤقتًا عرض هو مفيد من أجل propagation تحقّقات, لكن ال domain’s authoritative خوادم أسماء هي ال مصدر من سجل حقيقة.
