DIG

Dig like DNS lookups for copy & paste or check different flags/resolvers 'on-demand'

Default Trigger: d {domain|ip addr} [TXT|AAAA|ANY...] [@1.2.3.4.]

Have a look at this use case with on-demand query while chaning resolver or flags:

Defaults looks up A and AAA records. Additional param can be added for query type. e.g. MX,NS etc... or ANY (querries well known types). With @x.x.x.x you ask another resolver

dig -x is also supported for PTR lookups!

have a look for 'Alt'-Key for advanced copy&paste Option e.g. PTR Domains or dig output for sophisticated documentation porpose:

$> dig example.com A
; <<>> Albert-DIG 1.3 <<>> example.com

Bugs / Feedback

This was my first albert plugin. so be honest and submit any feedback or PR.

ToDo:

• Allow FQDN as @ns1.example.com as quering name server argument (only IP allowed now)
• better use regex?
