How this service works
A records for a domain as answered by AliDNS 223.5.5.5 (DNS over HTTPS): the records, TTL, response code (NOERROR/NXDOMAIN/SERVFAIL), whether the resolver validated DNSSEC, and the resolver's answer time. Compare resolvers to spot propagation lag, filtering or split-horizon answers. $0.01 per lookup.
Output
Returns the A records (IPv4 addresses) for the queried domain as answered by AliDNS 223.5.5.5, including TTL values, DNS response code (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, or SERVFAIL), whether the resolver performed DNSSEC validation, and the resolver's answer time in milliseconds.
Example use cases
DNS propagation check via AliDNS
“I just updated the A record for mysite.io — can you check whether AliDNS (223.5.5.5) has picked up the new record yet and tell me what IP it's returning along with the TTL?”
Detect regional DNS filtering
“Can you query AliDNS for the A records of twitter.com and tell me what response code it gives back — I want to know if it's returning NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL instead of the real IPs?”
Compare resolver answer times
“I'm benchmarking DNS resolvers — can you look up the A records for cloudflare.com via AliDNS and report back the answer latency and whether DNSSEC was validated?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://dns.intel.rallylive.ca/dns/a/via/alidns?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to see how AliDNS (Alibaba's 223.5.5.5 resolver) answers A record queries — particularly useful for checking DNS propagation in China-adjacent networks, comparing split-horizon behavior, verifying DNSSEC validation status on AliDNS, or benchmarking AliDNS answer latency against other resolvers like Cloudflare or Google.
Side effects
- Domain does not exist — returns NXDOMAIN response code
- AliDNS temporarily unavailable — returns SERVFAIL
- Invalid or malformed domain name input — may return error or SERVFAIL
- Network timeout reaching AliDNS upstream — elevated latency or error response
- Payment not accepted — x402 payment required error before lookup proceeds
