DNS Mine

This is the home of DNS Mine, an ambitious large-scale DNS project.

If you came here because of some network traffic from an IP related to DNSMine.com, it is almost certainly part of this project. Unless you are responsible for lots of domains or IPs, there should be minimal traffic. If you have questions, you can contact DNSmine [at] gmail.com. Specifically, unless you have a non-standard setup, you should see at maximum 3-4 hits per domain and 1 hit per IP you control, per day. Got a Class A IP range? You might see a fair bit of traffic, but if you've got an organization that needs 16 million IPs, you should expect a fair bit of traffic. :) But if there is a problem, be sure to contact us.

The DNS traffic tends not to draw many people here, but the web traffic definitely does! The goal of the web crawling ultimately is to get statistical information, such as the percentage of IPs that use various webservers, the percentage of domains in various languages, locations of the domains, etc. Currently, the web traffic only hits the main page for domains and/or one contact page. It does not know what an E-mail address is, so it doesn't look for them or store them.




So what data do we have to offer? We plan to offer a ton of data in the future, but right now, we are offering some information that we stumbled across (information that we had available to us, but didn't think to use right away). It is statistical information on DNS servers, showing how often DNS packets are dropped (it helps put '99.99999% uptime' into perspective), and the number of domains actually handled by DNS servers. To use, just enter a domain name - either yours (to see the results for the DNS servers you use) or that of the DNS hosting company.
