_digs_ is a DNS command-line client that is able to query many DNS servers at once.
## Why?
We work with DNS records a lot. Having a tool that inspects multiple
records across different machines at once is a lifesaver.
## Features
- Prevent invalid input before querying, such as invalid record types or configuration.
- No panics, good error handling.
- [much faster](docs/benchmark.md) compared to previous `digs.py`.
- Fancy error messages and colorful output.
- Cross-platform and single binary.
## Usage
Prepare a configuration file that should look like this:
```toml
[[servers]]
address = "8.8.8.8"
name = "Google"
[[servers]]
address = "9.9.9.9:54" # Custom port, default: 53
name = "Quad9"
```
The `servers` blocks can be as many as you want.
Example commands:
```
digs example.net A Query a domain using the configuration in the current directory
digs example.net A --config custom.toml ...using custom configuration
```
Run `digs --help` to see more available options.
