# DNS Examiner

AI-powered zone analysis that checks your DNS configuration for issues, misconfigurations, and missed best practices — then tells you exactly how to fix them.

## How it works

One click. Full analysis. Actionable fixes.

1

### Click Examine

Navigate to any zone in your Edge DNS dashboard and open the Examiner tab. Hit "Run Examination".

2

### Live Analysis

We run live DNS lookups against your domain and compare them with your configured records. AI analyses everything in seconds.

3

### Fix Issues

Get a health score, a prioritised list of issues by severity, and specific record values to add or change — right in your dashboard.

## What it checks

A comprehensive audit across six categories, every time you run it.

### Email Deliverability

Validates SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Checks MX configuration and flags missing or misconfigured email authentication that could land your messages in spam.

### Security Configuration

Reviews CAA records for certificate authority restrictions, checks for overly permissive wildcards, and verifies DNSSEC readiness.

### Nameserver Delegation

Compares live NS lookups against your assigned Edge nameservers. Identifies delegation mismatches at your registrar before they cause downtime.

### Web Accessibility

Confirms A/AAAA records resolve correctly, checks for CNAME-at-apex conflicts, and verifies www subdomain configuration.

### Best Practices

Audits TTL values, flags duplicate or conflicting records, checks MX priority spread, and identifies orphaned entries.

### Live Verification

Performs real DNS lookups alongside your configured records to catch propagation issues and discrepancies between intent and reality.

## Only on Edge DNS

No other DNS provider offers built-in AI analysis. Cloudflare, Route 53, and DNSimple don't have it.
