Address records

Address records show the public IP destinations returned where A or AAAA records are observed.

What .auDO observes

Point-in-time A and AAAA destinations

.auDO records the public IPv4 and IPv6 answers returned at collection time. These records describe resolution destinations and may reflect hosting or CDN behaviour; they are not inputs to the current DNS-provider State classification.

Why it is observed

Resolution movement adds infrastructure context

Why it matters

Address records preserve where a domain resolved at a particular time and can support later analysis of hosting movement, failover and repeated infrastructure churn.

What visible change may mean

A change may reflect CDN rotation, load balancing, failover, hosting migration, maintenance or routine cloud infrastructure behaviour.

Interpretation limits

Frequent movement may be routine

Address records alone do not identify the operator or establish where a service is ultimately hosted. Frequent A or AAAA changes can be expected infrastructure behaviour.

Where to use this evidence

Inspect dated movement without implying DNS-provider posture

No hosting- or address-specific State surface currently exists. Use dated Reports and the observation guide until a directly related State topic is available.
