What This Tool Checks

The DNS dig tool shows how the hublist server resolves a public hub hostname for a selected DNS record type.

When To Use It

Use it after moving a hub, changing DNS, adding IPv6, or checking why clients see a different target than expected.

Why It Helps Hub Owners

Correct DNS is essential for DC++ discovery because hublist files and client bookmarks usually depend on hostnames staying stable.

What To Check

  • A and AAAA records are usually the most important records for hub connectivity.
  • CNAME records must eventually resolve to usable A or AAAA records.
  • Old DNS results can remain visible until the record TTL expires.

Hub DNS Dig Tool

Run a dig-style DNS lookup for public hub hostnames and inspect A, AAAA, MX, NS, SOA, TXT, or CNAME records.

Enter a public hostname, IP address, or hub-style address such as dchub://example.com:411.
Choose the DNS record type to query.
