You'll also see details for IP addresses leased under this domain, such as lease duration, MAC addresses identifying each host, and the vendors of the host machines.
Additionally, the total query load across all IPs, as well as individual query loads, are visually represented in a doughnut chart accessible by selecting the respective IP.
Furthermore, a separate doughnut chart provides a visual breakdown of the query volume for different types of DNS records, illustrating the distribution for each query type.
