Features Supports all DNS record types DNSSEC support, including chain-of-trust validation Reverse lookups and delegation tracing from the root nameservers Colorized and tabular output for easy reading Concurrent queries for improved performance JSON output format for machine-readable results Option to write output to a file Option to query a specific DNS server Installing Homebrew MacPorts FreeBSD Usage Query a specific record type Any DNS record type can be queried, e.g. -q NS , -q CAA , -q DNSKEY , or -q HTTPS . Query multiple record types Types can be passed as bare arguments, comma-separated, or by repeating the flag. Results render in the requested order. Reverse lookup An address is looked up in reverse, through its .arpa name. Trace the delegation --trace resolves the name iteratively from the root nameservers, printing the nameservers of every zone along the way and finally the answer. DNSSEC --dnssec requests DNSSEC records (sets the DO bit), returning RRSIGs alongside the answers. --dnssec-validate additionally validates every record against the DNSSEC chain of trust — RRSIG, DNSKEY, and DS records up to the IANA root trust anchors — and reports a per-record status: secure , insecure , bogus , or unknown when the chain could not be retrieved.
