DNSGlobe: Rust TUI for Monitoring Global DNS Propagation
Key points
- Queries 34 public DNS resolvers simultaneously
- Displays propagation on a world map
- Offers watch mode for real-time updates
Overview of DNSGlobe
DNSGlobe is a terminal-based tool built in Rust that checks the propagation of DNS records. It queries 34 public DNS resolvers, such as Google and Cloudflare, around the globe in parallel to show the current state of a DNS record's propagation.
Key Features
This tool supports a watch mode that re-polls the DNS records until they propagate fully. It includes a world map visualization indicating resolver statuses such as agreement or error.
The tool directly queries the resolvers without relying on cached results, ensuring users see the most current answers for each individual server.
Installation and Usage
Users can install DNSGlobe via Homebrew for macOS/Linux or through Cargo directly from crates.io. Additionally, prebuilt binaries are available on GitHub Releases.
To use DNSGlobe, one can simply type 'dnsglobe' to start an empty session, or directly query a specific domain for immediate results.
Customization Options
The list of DNS resolvers can be modified by editing the src/resolvers.rs file. Users are encouraged to add or remove resolver entries according to their needs.
