DNS Zone Statistics

Analyze zone file structure, record distribution, and configuration health

Record Analysis: Count and categorize all DNS records by type and TTL.

Size Metrics: Identify largest records and analyze name length distribution.

Health Checks: Validate zone structure and identify potential issues.

Zone Statistics

Zone statistics help understand DNS structure, identify optimization opportunities, and spot potential issues. Analyze record distribution, TTL patterns, and naming conventions for better zone management.

TTL Strategy

TTL distribution reveals caching patterns. Short TTLs enable quick changes but increase DNS load. Long TTLs reduce queries but slow propagation. Balance based on change frequency and traffic patterns.

Record Analysis

Record type distribution shows zone complexity. Heavy A/AAAA records suggest web services, many MX records indicate mail infrastructure, and diverse types show comprehensive DNS usage.

Health Monitoring

Regular zone analysis catches configuration drift, identifies duplicates, and ensures essential records exist. Use statistics to track zone growth and optimize DNS performance over time.
