DNS Thing is a free Windows utility that provides an easy way to perform common DNS queries.
DNS Thing can perform a variety of DNS queries, including looking up MX records and SOA (start of authority) information. DNS Thing provides functionality for Windows users similar to the Linux DNS utility "dig."
DNS Thing is effectively a graphical (GUI) shell for the Nslookup utility. However, it vastly improves upon its ease of use. By automating query options, it allows users to access information not readily viewable via Nslookup such as time-to-live (TTL) data.
