PuppyNS

Small, friendly secondary DNS.

PuppyNS

A tiny secondary nameserver for zones you already host.

Add a secondary zone

Start with your domain

PuppyNS keeps a secondary copy. Your current DNS remains the primary source of truth.

Leave primary blank and PuppyNS will try to discover it from the zone's SOA record.

What PuppyNS does

Your current DNS stays the source of truth. PuppyNS asks your primary nameserver for a zone transfer, keeps a copy, and serves it when Bailey is delegated.

What it is not

PuppyNS does not edit records or answer recursive DNS queries. It only serves a secondary copy of zones you host somewhere else.

Transfer status

See whether PuppyNS has received a copy of your zone from your primary nameserver.

Delegation status

See whether your registrar or parent zone lists Bailey.
