● RESOLVER COMPARISON

See what selected resolvers
observe for your DNS.

Compare records returned by established public recursive resolvers. Useful for migrations, CDN cutovers, nameserver changes, and email DNS troubleshooting.

Queries run from one application region across selected resolver providers; results do not prove worldwide propagation.

Understanding DNS propagation

Recursive resolver caches

Different resolvers can retain older answers until their cached TTL expires. Matching record values matter more than small TTL differences.

Authoritative versus observed data

This milestone compares recursive resolvers. A deeper investigation may also query authoritative nameservers under strict controls.

Failure states matter

NXDOMAIN means the name does not exist according to that resolver; SERVFAIL indicates resolution failed. A timeout is unverifiable, not a mismatch.
