DNS Lookup

DNS Lookup Overview

The StripDNS DNS Lookup tool is built for fast, practical checks when you need reliable answers without jumping between multiple dashboards. Query DNS records including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, and more. It is especially useful for record troubleshooting and mail/web resolution, whether you are diagnosing outages, validating infrastructure changes, or preparing before a migration. Results are optimized for speed and readability so you can move from detection to action quickly during production incidents. For best outcomes, compare findings over time, cross-check with related DNS and TLS tools, and rerun checks after each config update to confirm changes propagated as expected.

How To Use This Tool

Common Use Cases

  • Verify A/AAAA/CNAME records during migrations.
  • Troubleshoot mail delivery with MX/TXT records.
  • Confirm DNS changes after zone edits.

Recommended Steps

  1. Enter a valid domain, hostname, or IP based on the tool input format.
  2. Run the lookup and review key output fields first before deep details.
  3. Repeat after any DNS, network, or infrastructure change to confirm results.

Interpretation Tips

  • Account for TTL and resolver cache delays before final conclusions.
  • Cross-check with related tools for stronger confidence.
  • Document findings with timestamps during incident handling.
FAQ

Resolvers have different cache states and policies, especially during propagation.

Start with A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, and SOA based on your issue.

Use this tool for direct checks and DNS Propagation for multi-resolver comparisons.

That resolver may still have stale negative cache or filtering rules.

Check MX, SPF TXT, DKIM TXT selectors, and DMARC TXT records together.

Yes. Higher TTL can delay when resolvers fetch new authoritative answers.
