    It's a pity the free reports are gone. But the free tools are still there, no? (Link left, near the top on the home page, to http://member.dnsstuff.com/pages/tools.php?ptype=free )

    the free ones that are left are more or less useless

    I used something called squish dns or something, but Google keeps flagging it as "potentially harmful to your computer". The site had excellent tools, but I wasn't about to advertise it here becase of the warning from G.

    EDIT: Well, the G warning is gone now, so the URL is:
    http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/
    Good luck

    I've used Squishywishywoo & DNS.net (mostly) - even when DNSReport was free!

    Ronnie gave you the link for Squish. Here's the link for DNS.net...

    http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx

    LoL!

    Good luck finding the *freebie* link - it's well hidden!

    Hi,

    Personally I prefer checking DNS manually with dig

    I do you http://www.intodns.com/ to link our customers as most people find dig's output to be confusing.

    I have seen a bunch of these and removed them/banned the user.
    Anyone seeing them on other forums?

    Quite clever approach to get an automated post (if that's what is going on) to stick. Makes it seem like it's right on topic doesn't it?
    Good luck
