[atlas] Is there a way to find the resolver used by the probe?

Thank you for your response. the dest address key works for me.

To some extent, yes.

In the JSON results download, the dst_addr key will provide the address that the probe sent its query to, however this will probably not be massively useful, as it’ll often be the address of a local router or other DNS cache.

Finding out what resolver a given client is using at the level of "is this Cloudflare/Google/Local ISP/etc" is a little harder and requires using either an NSID query, which you can set on Atlas measurements but may not be supported by all resolvers, or a "whoami" style service like Akamai’s: https://developer.akamai.com/blog/2018/05/10/introducing-new-whoami-tool-dns-resolver-information.

Hope that helps

Hello,

I’ve been trying to get dns measurements for a couple of domains over different regions using atlas probes. Is there a way to find the resolver’s IP used by the probes when use_probe_resolver is set to true?

Thanks
