Example prompt: What's the SOA record for datapackvibe.com — I need the zone authority, serial number, and refresh timers for IT auditing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative DNS zone metadata — specifically SOA records with serial numbers and refresh timers — for IT administration, DNS auditing, or infrastructure troubleshooting. It is purely a DNS lookup and does not verify email deliverability or perform any mail-related checks.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist (NXDOMAIN) — no SOA record returned
- Domain has no SOA record (misconfigured DNS zone)
- Network timeout reaching authoritative nameserver
- Invalid domain format in input — may return an error
- Private or internal domains not resolvable via public DNS

## How this service works

DNS zone authority lookup for IT administration: Return the zone SOA record and refresh timers. DNS data only; does not send email or verify that an inbox exists.

## Output

Returns the SOA record for the queried domain, including the primary nameserver (MNAME), responsible mailbox (RNAME), serial number, refresh interval, retry interval, expire time, and minimum TTL — all sourced from live DNS data.
