Today we're releasing DNSApe (https://dnsape.com), a free network tool for anyone that deals with websites on a daily basis. We provide the following tools at launch.

  * **DNS Records** - list DNS records for a domain
  * **DNS Traversal** - show DNS records from root, TLD, and authoritative name servers
  * **DNS Cache** - show DNS records from popular DNS servers
  * **HTTP Headers** - get HTTP headers for a domain
  * **Whois** - Whois lookup (we never save any lookups)
  * **IP Whois** - just what is sounds like...
  * **RBL** - troubleshoot email deliver-ability by checking if domain is listed in email reverse block lists
  * **Ping** - a simple ping from our server
Future features include keyboard shortcuts, upload time calculator, subnet calculator, and other network-related tools. You can vote on features here (https://dnsape.featureupvote.com).

We also released a large update to our primary srvAudit (https://srvaudit.com) application. If you have a need to track logins and command history for Linux servers, check it out!

We're releasing this as open source under the MIT license here (https://github.com/srvaudit) soon. We're looking for feedback and suggestions, and of course contributors are welcome!

I'm curious why you don't allow HTTPS header checking.
It should follow 302s, but some are not working. It's on my bug list :). Thanks for the comment.
Nice tools, thanks!

I notice that when I feed my domain name into DNSApe, I appear to get ‘Listed’ results for the following: dnsbl.njabl.org, combined.njabl.org

According to Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Just_Another_Bogus_List), this service is defunct, though. Am I missing something?

Also, it’d be great if ‘ping’ failed gracefully when the cited domain name doesn’t resolve to a hostname. Right now, it gives me a load of output that identifies file system paths to PHP scripts, and your use of laravel and shell commands.

I've removed this BL, thanks for the feedback!
