digs

dig many at once.

digs is a DNS command-line client that able to query many DNS servers at once.

Why?

We work with DNS records a lot. Having a tools that inspect multiple records across different machines at once is a lifesaver.

Features

• Prevent invalid input before querying. Such invalid records type or configuration.
• No panics, good error handling.
• more faster compared to previous digs.py.
• Colourful output.
• Cross-platform.
• Single binary.

Usage

Prepare a configuration file that should look like this:

[[servers]]
ip = "8.8.8.8"
name = "Google"

[[servers]]
ip = "9.9.9.9"
name = "Quad9"

The server can be as many as you want.

Example commands:

digs example.net A                    Query a domain using the configuration in current directory
digs example.net A -f custom.toml     ...using custom configuration

Run digs --help to see more available options.
