Authoritative DNS Latency

A fixed vantage point queries each authoritative DNS provider directly on a schedule and records round-trip time and whether an answer came back. The numbers are measured from that location and describe only that place and time; rows are sorted by 24-hour median, click a row to see each address.

Method
  • Each NS address gets an SOA query with recursion disabled. Only a NOERROR answer counts as success; no answer counts as a timeout; an answer with any other code is recorded as refused, treated as a broken target and left out of the answered rate.
  • One round every 5 minutes; each address gets 5 queries per round, 60 ms apart, 2 s wait each; the median is that address's round-trip for the round.
  • A provider row uses the fastest of its addresses in each round (recursive resolvers tend to pick the fastest address too). Median and P90 are computed over the rounds of the last 24 hours; answered rate = NOERROR answers ÷ queries sent.
  • NS host names are resolved through public resolvers commonly used in the vantage point's region, so the addresses are what users there actually get; at most 4 addresses per name and address family are measured.
  • Every query targets a zone the provider actually hosts (expand a row to see it); for ClouDNS it is who.sb, created on its free plan.
  • Each round also checks two baseline targets; when both go largely unanswered, the whole round is treated as a vantage-point fault and excluded.
