Improved domain lookup to show IP being resolved

Ability to see what the resolver will actually return for a domain.

Would this be a small Utility on the Website that a user could plug a domain in and see how it would be returned? I suppose as on other pages on the Dashboard the Site Name would need to be selected and applicable policies applied.

How would this be more than simply configuring DNSFILTER at a site and testing in a Web Browser?

Franz: Right, somewhere on the site. My issue is recently I had a domain expire that's used for Ubiquiti cloud controllers. After renewal, every other major DNS resolver (Quad9, Google DNS, OpenDNS,etc.) resolved it properly, but DNSFilter did not for many hours. This of course resulted in chaos, and tracking the issue wasn't simple. Would have been very nice to have the capability to see what the domain is being resolved as, similar to OpenDNS' cache check.
