AAAA Record Lookup

Check IPv6 address records assigned to a domain.

Resolved Target:

-

TypeHost / NameTarget / ValueTTL
No records loaded.

How to use this tool

Displays only AAAA records (IPv6 addresses). Other record types are excluded.

Enter the target, complete any relevant options and choose Check. Review the requested records, query outcomes and diagnostic findings. Copy Report saves the visible report.

Reading the results

No matching records and an unavailable query are different outcomes. TTLs are displayed in seconds; zero is a valid TTL. A completed request does not mean a domain passed its health checks. Only the submitted DNS owner and explicitly listed checks are inspected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no AAAA record for my domain?

The hostname may support IPv4 only. Your DNS zone must publish an AAAA record before clients can discover an IPv6 destination.

Why does an IPv6 address contain double colons?

IPv6 allows one compressed run of zero groups. The double colon shortens the address without changing its numeric value.

Why are several AAAA records returned?

Large sites often advertise multiple IPv6 endpoints. This supports traffic distribution and keeps the service available when one endpoint fails.

Does an AAAA record prove that IPv6 connectivity works?

No. The record only publishes an address. Routing, firewall rules, and the listening web service must also support IPv6.

Can a domain publish both A and AAAA records?

Yes. Dual-stack hosts publish both record types so compatible clients can choose IPv6 while others continue using IPv4.

Why has my new IPv6 destination not appeared yet?

Resolvers may still cache the former AAAA answer. Wait for the earlier TTL period before treating the result as a configuration failure.
