Hi HN,

I've been working on building a pipeline to create a DNS records database lately. The goal is to enable research as well as competitive landscape analysis on the internet.

The dataset for now spans around 4 billion records and covers all the common DNS record types:

    A
    AAAA 
    ANAME
    CAA
    CNAME
    HINFO
    HTTPS
    MX
    NAPTR
    NS
    PTR 
    SOA
    SRV
    SSHFP
    SVCB
    TLSA
    TXT
Each line in the CSV file represents a single DNS record in the following format: www.example.com,A,93.184.215.14

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Any possibility of adding (first seen, last seen) time stamps? There is basically no good way to reconstruct the state of e.g. SPF at a point in time from existing DNS data sets

I could in future releases, yes.
