dnsglobe: Watching DNS Propagation from the Terminal
2026-08-08

history

Project history and usage

dnsglobe is a Rust TUI and command-line DNS propagation checker that queries public resolvers in parallel and visualizes agreement, latency, TTLs, and geographic distribution.

Project history

514 Labs developed dnsglobe as a Rust terminal interface for comparing DNS records across public resolvers worldwide. It combines a compact resolver table with an adaptive map or globe and can repeatedly poll until a record converges.

The project also supports noninteractive output, custom resolvers, EDNS Client Subnet probes, resolver-site discovery, and user-defined themes. These features move it beyond a decorative TUI into a practical DNS deployment diagnostic.

Adoption history

The official README documents installation through Homebrew, crates.io, Arch User Repository packages, Nix, and prebuilt GitHub releases. This gives the young project several package-oriented distribution paths across macOS and Linux.

How it is used

Users provide a domain and optional record type, then watch answers converge across public resolvers. The --once mode supports scripts, while configuration can add private resolvers, replace the built-in resolver set, select the visualization, configure ECS networks, and customize colors.

Why package nerds care

dnsglobe packages DNS-propagation checking as a local, scriptable terminal program rather than a browser service. Its Rust implementation, single executable, TUI, watch mode, ECS support, and optional Nix flake make it particularly congenial to terminal-focused operators.

Timeline
