The invention provides a method and equipment for monitoring the DNS (Domain Name Server) configuration change effectiveness. According to the method for monitoring the DNS configuration change effectiveness, firstly, a domain name to be monitored is determined, then, a record containing the domain name to be monitored and time information is added into the DNS configuration, the DNS configuration is generated, then, the DNS configuration is synchronized to a DNS server cluster, then, the record is acquired from the DNS configuration of a target DNS server of the DNS server cluster, the record is analyzed to obtain time information related to the domain name to be monitored, and finally, a current timestamp corresponding to the time information is compared the time information when the time information is obtained to monitor whether DNS configuration takes effect or not. According to the method, whether the DNS configuration change takes effect or not is efficiently monitored, the abnormal situation of the DNS configuration change taking effect can be quickly found, a domain name resolution service provider can provide timely and accurate DNS resolution service for a user, and beneficial market effects are brought.
