Understanding Multi-Resolver DNS
Why Use Multiple DNS Resolvers?

Different DNS resolvers may return different results due to caching, TTL expiration, or geographic distribution. Querying multiple resolvers helps you:

  • Verify DNS propagation after making DNS changes
  • Detect inconsistencies that could indicate issues
  • Compare response times to find the fastest resolver for your location
  • Identify DNS poisoning or hijacking attempts

What is Consensus?

Consensus means all queried resolvers return identical answers. Full consensus indicates the DNS record has propagated globally and is consistent across all resolvers.

Propagation Time

DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate globally. During this time, different resolvers may return old or new values depending on their cache TTL.
