What it needs from you
Probe mode (optional)optional
— auto (default), apex (require NS set), or ns (probe this hostname/IP only). Does not change price_usd.
Focus notes (optional)optional
— Echoed in the report (e.g. “post-BIND cutover — SOC2: nameservers are not open recursive”). Does not change price_usd.
Public apex, NS hostname, or public NS IPrequired
— One public DNS name or public NS IP you operate. Default auto: if NS records exist, probe each auth NS; otherwise probe this hostname/IP only. Scheme/path stripped. No OAuth. Private/RFC1918/link-local fail closed (SSRF).
In-bailiwick SOA/NS sanityoptional
— Default true. When an apex NS set is probed, also query SOA/NS with AA to confirm the NS is alive as auth — not a lame-delegation deep grade. Does not change price_usd.
Second out-of-bailiwick canaryoptional
— Default true. After the example.com A RD=1 probe, send example.net A unless the first already failed open. Does not change price_usd.
