Nicely done. I poke at DNS a bit over at StackFox (https://stackfox.co/site/wirewiki.com https://stackfox.co/site/wirewiki.com), and anyone who’s spent time looking at DNS knows how much work goes into this.
A couple thoughts:
1) Nameserver “redundancy” that isn’t.
All the ns1/ns2 setups that collapse onto the same provider or ASN once you follow the trail.
2) Authoritative drift.
One server quietly serving an older serial or odd TTL for a while — invisible until something breaks. With global data, quirks like that become obvious.
Anyway, inspiring job. Wirewiki already feels like something that should have existed but somehow didn’t.
- pul 7mo agoYou're the second person in these comments who points out faux name server redundancy. Interesting. I hadn't considered it as a major theme, but I'll move it up the list a little. > Authoritative drift. This is why I query all authoritative name servers (as well as delegating name servers when querying NS records) in the DNS propagation tool. I haven't seen any other site do this. This feels like such an obvious thing to me, but somehow I'm the only one.
