SolarWinds IT Pro Pack: Two Must-Have Tools for Every Network Engineer

Toolset Feature » Identify DNS Errors and Validate Resolution of Domain Names


  • Locate DNS errors in the database by scanning a range of IP addresses
  • Validate forward and reverse resolution of domain names

The DNS Audit tool helps you locate DNS errors in the database by scanning a range of IP addresses and performing reverse DNS lookups for each address. If DNS Audit receives a DNS response for an address, it then attempts a forward DNS lookup to verify that the forward lookup resolves to the originally scanned IP address.

Any errors found during the scan are highlighted. You can also filter the results to show the reverse DNS errors, the IP addresses that did not resolve, or forward DNS errors.
