Since the linked README doesn't even mention "IP", I suspect the author misunderstands what "DNS" is about, and this is actually a search tool, and the headline is bad.
- Joker_vD 4y agoDNS is for associating various information with domain names, and looking that information up. Yes, the most popular information to associate with a domain name is IPv4- and IPv6-addresses via A and AAAA fields; but CNAME records exist as well, you know.
- notpushkin 4y agoThis is not even CNAME, more like a Redirect header in DNS (if this was actually a thing, that is). Still, this is arguably a domain name system, just one that isn't compatible with the DNS as we know it.
- pushedx 4y agoMany record types contain hostnames as values. So many that it isn’t even worth listing all of them here.
