Read returned DNS record sets through one resolver path

Resolver ledger

ENTERED NAME + SELECTED TYPE

SERVER → NODE DNS.PROMISES → CONFIGURED RESOLVER

RETURNED TYPE + VALUE ROWS

A lookup records what this resolver call returns; it is not an authoritative-zone query.

The selectable record atlas

Each choice maps to a resolver method. ALL is a defined collection of seven forward record calls, while PTR remains a separate, explicit choice.

• A — IPv4 address

  Returned IPv4 addresses.

• AAAA — IPv6 address

  Returned IPv6 addresses.

• MX — Mail exchange

  Exchange name with its returned priority.

• TXT — Text

  Returned text segments joined with spaces.

• NS — Name server

  Returned name-server host names.

• CNAME — Canonical name

  Returned canonical-name targets.

• SOA — Start of authority

  nsname, hostmaster, and serial in one value.

• PTR — Pointer

  Requested only when PTR is selected.

• ALL — Defined record set

  Calls A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, and SOA; it does not call PTR.

One submitted selection, one resolver route

The editor trims the entered name, sends it with the chosen type to trpc.dns.lookup, then renders the returned rows or its status message.

1. 1. Enter the name

   The server contract accepts a string from 1 to 255 characters. The input is sent as a name; the page does not establish ownership or control of it.

2. 2. Choose a record type

   Select A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, PTR, or ALL. The selection determines the resolver calls, not a zone-wide inspection.

3. 3. Read returned rows

   Every returned row has a type and a value. MX rows additionally show priority. A returned list may contain only the types that produced rows.

How returned values are normalised for the ledger

The page presents the shape emitted by the server function. It does not add TTL fields or infer missing DNS data.

Read absence and mixed ALL results without diagnosis

A record type can produce no rows for this resolver call. In an ALL selection, errors from individual record calls are skipped so rows from other calls can still be returned.

• An empty returned list leads to the editor’s “no records” notice.
• An exception reaching the editor leads to its general failed-lookup notice.
• Neither notice identifies a cause, checks a zone, or describes DNS conditions elsewhere.

Scope of this resolver ledger

The screen documents one server-side resolver path and the fields it returns. It is not an authority, DNSSEC, propagation, ownership, completeness, or service-status assessment.

• 1–255 — characters accepted by the server name contract
• 9 — selectable choices, including ALL
• 7 — record calls in ALL: A through SOA, excluding PTR
• 0 — TTL fields supplied by the current server function

• SSL Checker

  Inspect the certificate data returned for a submitted host.

• Ping Test

  Record browser HTTP request timings for a public target.
