Finding Previous DNS Settings for a Domain

Finding Previous DNS Settings for a Domain

So the other day I was setting up forwarding for some domains and accidentally forwarded one that I didn’t want forwarded. When I unset the forwarding, the domain reverted back to the default settings and not the settings that it was previously set to. I recall once in the past when this happened, and GoDaddy tech support had said they keep no records of previous DNS settings for domains. Knowing that Google stores cached pages, I wondered if there was anything similar for DNS settings. I searched, and sure enough, there were a couple sites that keep previous DNS settings for domains. All you have to do is type in the domain name, and it comes up with results.

Here are two that I used: http://dnshistory.org/ and http://whoisrequest.org/history/
