I wrote this just for fun to help me understand, fsocket() in php and at the same time learn about DNS. Anyway have a play and let me know if you think there is a way I could improve the infomation provided or its presentation.

Some definitions for the different types of test you used would be helpful.

Try and use <label> and <p> where apropriate, there's rarely an excuse for <br/>

I don't really mind but using xhtml with a html mime type doesn't really gain you anything.

What should I be using?

What should I be using?Either xhtml with an xhtml mime type or html with an html mime type. Although it's being picky really.

Either xhtml with an xhtml mime type or html with an html mime type.Are you talking about the mime header or something contained in the html itself?

I think he was trying to say that definitions for the dropdown list of test to run would be nice since who knows what an "A" test is?

The other statemnt he made about the use of <br /> was becasue that is what's in your source after you run the test.

Not sure about the mime statement!

I would have thought anyone testing a DNS would know what an 'A' record is <a>! ;-(

Realy nice utility. There are other DNS test available, but they don't present the information in such an extensive way.

I found no home page at your site, and there is something wrong with your headers (blank lines halfway)

I don't understand what you mean about the headers. I just captured them and got:HTTP/1.x 200 OK

Sorry about no home page but this is just a test site.

Nevertheless if you liked that tool/toy have a look at this one (http://bokehman.com/validate_email) and this one (http://bokehman.com/validate_email_with_the_xml_http_request_object)
