Free DNS Tools
- ck2 14y agoSurprised it hasn't been on here before - great set of tools I use it all the time. Discovered it after dnsstuff moved some of their tools to pay-only. Watchmouse seems to have been bought out recently too, hope they don't go pay. Oh apparently they have been on here before, just not the main page http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=viewdns.info http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=viewdns.inf...

- fmx 14y agoThanks you, a very useful site. These tools all exist elsewhere, but it's really handy to have them all in one place, and right on the home page, too.

- ohashi 14y agoOut of curiosity, what makes actually digging this data up difficult?
- bradleyland 14y agoAll of these tests are possible using command line tools, but some of them would require multiple invocations of the tools, as well as verification against a matrix of known-good configuration parameters. For example, the DNS report is pretty comprehensive. What's surprising to me is that these tools are web based. Although, there is some value in having a third party verify your assumptions. It's not uncommon for me to alter my hosts file while I wait on DNS to propagate. That can screw up my resolver when running diagnostics locally.
