DNS Custom Entries and History

in review

William H.

It would be great if custom DNS entries can be tracked (e.g. custom cname/A/AAAA etc. records) 
In addition, the ability to store historic information/change tracking in order to easily tell dates at which key information changed.
(Bonus points if this checking can happen more often or on a custom schedule and linked to alerting!)

I know this isn't the same premise for DNS Custom Entries as described by the original author but I think it would be great if domains using proxies like cloudflare could have their A record overriden with a different IP (essentially hosts file)

This would allow Hudu to check the underlying hosts certificate and page status, rather than checking cloudflare where a valid cert is likely being presented no matter what.

Tex NTH: Hi! Can you make a fresh request with it so it doesn't get lost when this original request is eventually completed? Thank you!!

Kristen W. this would be a great feature to have looking forward to this.

Here's my take on this feature: Many of the major DNS hosting providers (Amazon Route 53, Godaddy, Google, Cloudflare, etc.) have API's that can be utilized to pull DNS records. The ability to periodically check DNS records for changes (once or twice a day, or manually) would be very helpful. Hudu could keep a history of DNS changes for the client's public DNS records and display an age next to each record so that it would be easy to tell which records were most recently changed. Records changed within the last 30 days should appear bold or in red to bring attention to newly changed records.

If DNS records or the entire DNS zone were ever compromised, Hudu would have a complete record and history.

Some of the public DNS records pull into the website card, but definitely need a way to add custom records like dkim and dmarc.

Was recently disappointed to find out that hudu does not store historical information / changes. We previously had this in IT glue and went to a domain in HUDU to check historical settings and was surprised to find out that it did not have that.

Tracking would be a great feature and I know its present in IT glue which I am also trialing at the moment.

ITGlue has this feature, once you enter a domain it will query A records for the domain and www.domain, look up MX, NS, TXT, and I think SOA. History will show when changes to those record were made. I believe they performed a daily check on the records.

Craig C.

I agree, this would be great!

Jeff V.

this is exactly what im looking for. something like what security trails does or lionguard would be ideal

Definitely alerting, I've sometimes had Companies give out DNS control to a webdeveloper, without engaging IT (Marketing) and then they changed the MX entries to work with the email crm.

Brings down everyone's email except marketing/sales who are working fine on their new CRM. (Don't ask me how Marketing got the credentials for DNS, obviously someone just says yes here... without thinking about it)
