Example prompt: Can you pull the SOA record and refresh timers for the DNS zone of acmecorp.com? I need it for a security review.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative DNS zone information — specifically the SOA record — for security audits, DNS configuration reviews, or infrastructure assessments. Prefer this over general WHOIS or DNS resolution tools when you specifically need zone authority data including refresh/retry/expire timers and the zone's primary nameserver identity.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or is not registered — DNS lookup returns NXDOMAIN
- Domain has no SOA record configured — empty or null response
- Network timeout reaching authoritative DNS servers
- Invalid domain format provided as input — validation error
- Private or internal domain not resolvable from public DNS
