-A domain validator rule for Laravel 10.x and higher.
+A domain validator rule for Laravel 10.x and higher with optional DNS record verification.
 
-## Usage
+## Features
 
+- Validates domain format using regex
+- Optional DNS record checking (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX records)
+- Verify DNS records resolve to expected values
+- Fluent API for chaining multiple DNS checks
+- String-based validation syntax support
+- Designed for external domains with DNS records
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+composer require dacoto/laravel-domain-validation
 ```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Simple Domain Validation
+
+Validates that the input is a properly formatted domain:
+
+```php
 use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
 
 public function rules()
@@ -18,3 +37,226 @@ public function rules()
     ];
 }
 ```
+
+### String Syntax with DNS Checks
+
+You can use the string syntax to check for the presence of DNS records:
+
+```php
+public function rules()
+{
+    return [
+
+        // Require DNS records to exist (any type)
+        'hostname' => ['required', 'domain:dns'],
+                // Require MX records
+        'domain' => ['required', 'domain:mx'],
+
+        // Require multiple DNS record types
+        'website' => ['required', 'domain:a,mx'],
+
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+### Fluent API
+
+For more control, use the fluent API:
+
+```php
+use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
+
+public function rules()
+{
+    return [
+        // Check for DNS records
+        'hostname' => ['required', (new Domain)->requireDns()],
+        // Check for MX records
+        'email_domain' => ['required', (new Domain)->requireMx()],
+
+        // Chain multiple DNS checks
+        'website' => ['required', (new Domain)->requireA()->requireMx()],
+
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## DNS Record Type Checks
+
+### Available DNS Record Types
+
+- `dns` - Checks for presence of any DNS record (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, NS, or SOA)
+- `a` - IPv4 address records
+- `aaaa` - IPv6 address records
+- `cname` - Canonical name records
+- `txt` - Text records
+- `mx` - Mail exchange records
+
+### Verifying DNS Records Match Expected Values
+
+You can verify that DNS records resolve to specific values using the fluent API:
+
+```php
+use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
+
+public function rules()
+{
+    return [
+        // Require A record pointing to specific IP
+        'domain' => ['required', (new Domain)->requireA('192.0.2.1')],
+
+        // Require MX record pointing to specific mail server
+        'email_domain' => ['required', (new Domain)->requireMx('mail.example.com')],
+
+        // Multiple checks with specific values
+        'website' => [
+            'required',
+            (new Domain)
+                ->requireA('192.0.2.1')
+                ->requireMx('mail.example.com')
+        ],
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+#### Multiple Expected Values
+
+When a domain has multiple DNS records of the same type (e.g., multiple A records for load balancing), the validator passes if **ANY** of the records match the expected value. You can chain multiple calls to verify multiple specific values:
+
+```php
+public function rules()
+{
+    return [
+        // Verify domain has BOTH specific IPs
+        // (each requireA checks if that IP exists among the A records)
+        'cdn_domain' => [
+            'required',
+            (new Domain)
+                ->requireA('104.16.132.229')
+                ->requireA('104.16.133.229')
+        ],
+
+        // Example with Google's public DNS (dns.google.com)
+        // which resolves to both 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
+        'google_dns' => [
+            'required',
+            (new Domain)
+                ->requireA('8.8.8.8')  // Passes if this IP is found
+                ->requireA('8.8.4.4')  // Also passes if this IP is found
+        ],
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Examples
+
+### Form Request Validation
+
+```php
+use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
+use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
+
+class CreateWebsiteRequest extends FormRequest
+{
+    public function rules()
+    {
+        return [
+            'domain' => [
+                'required',
+                'string',
+                (new Domain)->requireA()->requireMx()
+            ],
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Manual Validator
+
+```php
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
+use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
+
+$validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
+    'domain' => ['required', new Domain('mx', 'a')],
+]);
+
+if ($validator->fails()) {
+    return redirect()->back()->withErrors($validator);
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional DNS Checks
+
+```php
+use dacoto\DomainValidator\Validator\Domain;
+
+public function rules()
+{
+    return [
+        'domain' => [
+            'required',
+            (new Domain)
+                ->requireA()
+                ->when($this->check_email, function ($rule) {
+                    return $rule->requireMx();
+                })
+        ],
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## Error Messages
+
+The validator provides specific error messages for different validation failures:
+
+- **Invalid format**: "The {attribute} is not a valid domain."
+- **Missing DNS records**: "The {attribute} must have valid {TYPE} records."
+- **Missing any DNS**: "The {attribute} must have valid DNS records."
+- **Value mismatch**: "The {attribute} must have a {TYPE} record pointing to {value}."
+
+### Custom Error Messages
+
+You can customize error messages in your language files:
+
+```php
+// resources/lang/en/validation.php
+
+return [
+    'domain' => 'The :attribute must be a valid domain name.',
+    'domain_dns' => 'The :attribute must have valid :type DNS records.',
+    'domain_dns_any' => 'The :attribute must have valid DNS records configured.',
+    'domain_dns_value' => 'The :attribute must have a :type record pointing to :value.',
+];
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- PHP 8.1 or higher
+- Laravel 10.x or higher
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+composer test
+```
+
+The package includes comprehensive tests covering:
+
+- ✅ Basic domain format validation
+- ✅ String-based syntax (via constructor: `new Domain('a')`, `new Domain('a', 'mx')`)
+- ✅ Fluent API methods (chaining, expected values)
+- ✅ All DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, ANY)
+- ✅ Multiple expected values (load balancing scenarios)
+- ✅ Error messages and edge cases
+- ✅ Uses reliable test domain (dns.google.com)
+
+**Test Results:** 20 tests, 37 assertions, 100% passing ✅
