## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability forgemesh-dns-record-lookup-with-dnssec-48cbc590 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the MX records for stripe.com so I can see what mail servers they use and whether DNSSEC is enabled?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured DNS resolution with DNSSEC status for any record type — especially for confirming domain migrations, diagnosing email delivery issues, validating infrastructure changes, or checking nameserver configuration. Prefer this over a raw dig/nslookup when you need clean JSON output with DNSSEC context included.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent hostname returns error or empty record set
- Unsupported record type may return an error
- DNSSEC status unavailable for some TLDs or resolvers
- Cached stale results if DNS changed within the last 5 minutes
- Network timeout if upstream DNS resolver is slow

## How this service works

Resolve the nameservers, mail servers, or any other DNS record type for a hostname, with DNSSEC status included in the response. Useful for confirming a domain migration completed, diagnosing email delivery issues, or validating that infrastructure changes propagated correctly. Answers are structured JSON and cached for 5 minutes.

## Output

Structured JSON containing the resolved DNS records for the queried record type, including record values, TTLs, and DNSSEC validation status. Results are cached for up to 5 minutes.
