This application also allows you to retrieve DNS records (MX, NS, A, SOA) of specified domains

DNSDataView will display the result for the query with the record type, host name, IP address and additional data. Any error that may occur during the query execution is also displayed in the More Data section. The result can also be saved from the files drop-down menu in TXT/XML/HTML/CSV format.
Data can also be viewed in a summarized form via the File drop-down menu in the Properties section.
