Hello,

DNS TXT records are used for SPF entries in order to prevent SPAM on the internet.   Currently, there is no ability to monitor TXT records with a Site24x7 DNS Monitor.  We need to be able to monitor a DNS TXT record to see if a sub-string is found in the results in order to validate that our mail server IP address is in the SPF text of a TXT record.

Would it be possible to create the ability to monitor TXT records with the DNS Monitor?  Also, would it be possible to search for a sub-string in the results of a TXT record's value?

Example:

[nobodyspecial@localhost ~]$ dig -t TXT _spf.google.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> -t TXT _spf.google.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

We would like to be able to search for the above bolded text in a TXT record's value.

Thanks!
