## 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 is-dns-hosted-by-he-net-34b3931c
```

Example prompt: Can you check if rallylive.ca has its DNS hosted by Hurricane Electric (he.net)? I need to know if any nameservers match HE.net patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to determine specifically whether Hurricane Electric (he.net) is the DNS hosting provider for a domain, for purposes such as vendor detection in sales pipelines, security audits of infrastructure, or pre-migration planning. Prefer this over generic NS lookup endpoints when you need the he.net pattern matching logic built in rather than implementing it yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns no match with empty nameserver list
- Cloudflare DoH is temporarily unavailable — lookup fails with a network or upstream error
- Invalid domain format provided — may return an error or empty result
- Domain uses partial HE.net delegation — only matched nameservers listed, result may be ambiguous

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by he net? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against he-net's nameserver patterns, returning yes/no, the nameservers and which ones matched. Vendor detection for sales, migration and security work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no boolean indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by Hurricane Electric (he.net), the full list of NS records retrieved via Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS, and which specific nameservers matched HE.net's nameserver patterns.
