List of Websites giving tools for DNS queries.

Here i m giving a list of such free website services which provide tools for DNS troubleshooting:

www.DNSreport.com (http://www.dnsreport.com)

This site will check the DNS settings for an Internet zone and provide prescriptive guidance on optimizing the settings.

www.DNSstuff.com (http://www.dnsstuff.com)

This site has a number of DNS tools that you can use to diagnose DNS issues.

SamSpade.org (http://www.samspade.org)

This site has some good tools for DNS troubleshooting. It promotes its tools and expertise as anti-spam utilities, as opposed to just DNS troubleshooting. The site's tools page (http://www.samspade.org/t/) provides tools similar to those at www.DNSstuff.com. I have the Sam Spade For Windows tool (http://www.samspade.org/ssw/) on my desktop and use it a great deal.

AnalogX DNSDig (http://www.analogx.com/contents/dnsdig.htm)

This page provides an online version of DIG—a useful tool from the Unix world that is used to troubleshoot DNS issues. (Why can't Microsoft provide a port of DIG in Windows or the resource kit?)

Squish.net DNS Checker (http://www.squish.net/dnscheck)

Given a record name and a record type, this page will return a report that details all possible answers.

DNS Dump (http://www.reskit.net/DNS/dnsdump.cm_)

This is a truly awesome script by Dean Wells that exports/imports DNS server configurations. Read carefully before using it, and make sure you change the extension before you run it! This was the list of sites giving informations and troubleshooting tools for dns, and how to actually troubleshoot  with the eris discussed in our next post,  http://www.hackplanet.in/2011/04/troubleshooting-dns.html
