A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT

DNS Lookup

DNS Lookup resolves a domain's records — A, AAAA, MX, NS and TXT — and shows their values and TTLs. It is the go-to tool for verifying DNS changes, mail (MX/SPF) setup and propagation across resolvers.

What it measures

  • A and AAAA address records (IPv4 / IPv6)
  • MX (mail), NS (nameserver) and TXT (SPF/DKIM/verification) records
  • TTL for each record and query time

How to read the results

  • Low TTLs propagate changes faster but add resolver load.
  • A missing or wrong MX/SPF record is the usual cause of mail delivery issues.
  • Consistent records across resolvers means your change has propagated.

Frequently asked questions

How long does DNS propagation take?

Up to the record's TTL — often minutes to a few hours. Lower the TTL before a planned change to speed it up.

What is a TXT record used for?

Domain verification and email auth — SPF, DKIM and DMARC policies live in TXT records.
