DNS Records Checker

Yet another DNS checker?

I often use DNS checker tools to check that my DNS records are set up correctly and they work as expected. I wanted to create one of my own because Go made building this easy by having some basic DNS lookup functionality in its standard library.

Usage

Preqrequisites

  • Go

sudo pacman -S go

  • Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/wbrijesh/dns-record-checker.git

Run the program

go run main.go

  • You can now go to localhost:8000 in your browser and enter a domain name to check its DNS records.

  • If you prefer to use the command line you could use curl request to localhost:8000/lookup and send a field called ‘domain’ as form data.

Features

  • Checks for various DNS record types (A, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT).

  • Provides a clear and informative display of results.

  • Handles empty or missing record types gracefully.

Future Improvements

  • Implement caching for faster lookups.

  • Add support for additional DNS record types.

  • Improve error handling and user feedback.

This tool is designed to be a basic DNS checker for quick and easy lookups. Enjoy!
