Nicely done. I poke at DNS a bit over at StackFox (https://stackfox.co/site/wirewiki.com), and anyone who’s spent time looking at DNS knows how much work goes into this.

A couple thoughts:

1) Nameserver “redundancy” that isn’t. All the ns1/ns2 setups that collapse onto the same provider or ASN once you follow the trail.

2) Authoritative drift. One server quietly serving an older serial or odd TTL for a while — invisible until something breaks. With global data, quirks like that become obvious.

Anyway, inspiring job. Wirewiki already feels like something that should have existed but somehow didn’t.
