DNS Finder.Every record. One lookup.

A full DNS lookup and audit in one pass: every record a domain publishes, the authoritative provider actually answering for it, propagation state across regions, and the misconfigurations, TTL extremes, chained CNAMEs, lame delegations, that quietly slow resolution down.

What it answers

DNS Finder in four questions.

Who really runs the DNS

NS patterns identify the authoritative provider, the answer behind “who do we call when resolution breaks?”

The complete record set

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, CAA and friends, everything the domain publishes, in one inventory.

Propagation state

Whether a recent change has actually reached resolvers across regions, or is still fighting an old TTL.

What’s slowing resolution

Chained CNAMEs, extreme TTLs, missing AAAA records and lame delegations, flagged with the fix.

Under the hood

How it works.

The same signals our analysts use in paid assessments, automated.

DETECTIONHow it works
Authoritative queries · straight to the source

Queries the authoritative servers directly rather than trusting a cache, so the report shows what the domain actually publishes.

Core
Multi-region resolution · propagation view

The same lookups from multiple vantage points reveal propagation lag and region-dependent answers.

Core
Provider identification · NS fingerprints

Nameserver patterns map to the managed-DNS provider, the operator behind the records.

Core
Best-practice ruleset · audit layer

Records are graded against a ruleset built from the DNS issues we meet in real assessments.

Supporting
The report

What you’ll get.

THE OUTPUTInside the report
Record inventory

Every published record, grouped and annotated.

Included
Provider & DNSSEC state

Who answers authoritatively, and whether DNSSEC is present and valid.

Included
Resolution timing

Where the milliseconds go between the first query and a usable answer.

Included
Prioritized fix list

Misconfigurations ordered by user-visible impact, not alphabetically.

Included
Use cases

Who it’s for.

Migrations

Audit before and after a DNS or CDN move, and catch the record someone forgot.

Multi-CDN steering prep

Steering strategies live or die on DNS hygiene; this is the pre-flight check.

Slow-first-visit debugging

When TTFB is fine but first visits feel slow, resolution is the usual suspect.

Domain estate audits

Sweep a portfolio of domains for expired experiments and dangling records.

Built on assessment data

The toolkit automates the detection and benchmark data behind the assessments we already run, the tools are how we prove the data is good.

Free, no signup, shareable

Every tool ships free with shareable reports; the business model is the advisory behind it, not your email address.

In development now

First releases are in build. Dates are windows, not promises, we ship when the detection is trustworthy.

FAQ

DNS Finder questions,
answered straight.

When does DNS Finder launch?

It’s in the first wave of the toolkit, in development now with a 2026 launch window. The tools page has the early-access list.

Will it be free?

Yes, free with no signup, like the rest of the toolkit.

How is it different from dig or an online lookup?

A raw lookup shows you records; DNS Finder shows you what they mean: the provider behind them, the propagation state, and a graded list of what to fix, built from the ruleset we apply in paid assessments.

Does it check DNSSEC?

Yes, presence and validity are part of the standard report.

Can it audit many domains at once?

Batch auditing is on the roadmap after launch; the first release is single-domain with shareable reports.
