DNS Monitoring FAQ
Common questions about DNS tracking
We support A, AAAA (IPv6), CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, CAA, and SOA records. Each record type has specialized validation and alerting.
You specify what records should return (e.g., 'MX should include mail.google.com'). If actual values differ, you get an alert. Great for detecting unauthorized changes.
Yes! We alert you immediately if NS records change unexpectedly or if A records suddenly point to different IPs—common signs of DNS hijacking.
Free plan: every 5 minutes. Pro: every 1 minute. Business/Enterprise: every 1 minute or 30 seconds for critical domains.
Yes! We query from 25+ locations worldwide. Identify propagation issues, regional misconfigurations, or anycast problems.
DNSSEC validation is on our roadmap. Currently we monitor basic record types. Contact us if you need DNSSEC monitoring urgently.
These are TXT records. Use DNS TXT monitoring with expected values containing 'v=spf1', 'v=DKIM1', or 'v=DMARC1' respectively.
