IADB Query Instructions

The ISIPP Accreditation Database is an in-addr prefix style DNS list which resides at iadb.isipp.com.

When queried, the IADB will return one or more A records for any site which is listed in the IADB. These are as follows:

127.0.0.1 Listed in IADB
127.0.0.2 Vouched listing
127.0.0.3 Publishes SPF record

Note that a query can return more than one response for any given listing; each response is option-specific. For example 127.0.0.1 means that the site is listed in IADB, and 127.0.0.2 means that the listing is a vouched listing. Thus for a site which is listed in IADB and which is a vouched listing, a query will return “127.0.0.1; 127.0.0.2”, providing the querying site with the very specific information that the site is listed in IADB, and that the listing is a vouched listing.

This level of granularity allows querying sites to make decisions based on precise information regarding a listing in the IADB.

Examples:

A dig for 192.168.1.1 returns this (relevant sections only shown here):

[Note: When querying a DNS list for the presence of an IP address, that IP adress must be reversed in the query.]
