    Do you mean something that looks up the IP from multiple locations like whatsmydns? [1] or do you mean it does this hourly to alert on changes?

      Yeah partially, but what I'm missing here are primarily notifications, and perhaps the ability to specify the specific resolvers/nameservers you care about.

      And yes, it would periodically check these resolvers/nameservers and maybe compare it with your rules or something like that? And perhaps it would monitor the entire DNS record change history since the time you set it up, so you could then apply some rules to that output and configure notifications on top of that?

      I really don't have specific functionality in mind, just something that would solve that issue of me being bottlenecked by the constant checking of DNS records.
