       @kushal Cool, but why only IP.old?

       @bortzmeyer I mean it defaults to A records, but you can search for AAAA :)

       @kushal When the name is an alias (example: www.elysee.fr), the final answer is the CNAME (why not) but when you click on the CNAME, the next step fails because of the final dot ("Ask a random ROOT server about . TLD servers")

       @bortzmeyer Or are you asking why am I not talking to IPv6 servers? Answer: I am just lazy, will fix in future :D

       @kushal Yes, that was the issue.

       @bortzmeyer Also at first I wrote this to teach 10 years old about how DNS works, and later figured that I can use the same to teach adults too :p

       @bortzmeyer Yay, you found a bug, I will update the UI rending code to remove the last .

       @kushal When there is more than three levels of delegation (example : www.phy.cam.ac.uk), the text "Authoritative servers for www.phy.cam.ac.uk" is erroneous (the before-the-last step).

       @bortzmeyer That recursive logic to show results is still faulty. Will have to figure out a better way. I was going to ask next to find an example of such delegation. Thank you for giving that :)

       @kushal Writing a #DNS resolver, even a simple one, is hard. Ask @b0rk :-)

       @bortzmeyer @b0rk My biggest problem is that I can write HTML/CSS, how to show the UI properly is always a different level of problem.
