Shameless side project plug: they mention a "debug" mode for dns resolving being nice to have. ComfyDNS has this in its web UI :3

https://comfydns.com/

It's the picture that says "TRACE google.com A IN" at the top.

ComfyDNS is partly scratching a personal itch - I was tired of hand modifying bind9 zone files. And also I was curious as to how DNS works - I knew surface level stuff but no details. So I implemented the RFC from "scratch" (I used netty but no DNS libs). It was a lot of fun.

(Also if/when the site goes down from hugging, forgive me, it is a rails app running on the oracle cloud free tier lol)
