Synopsis
domain { domain_name }
Description
The domain command takes a single argument specifying a domain to inspect. The DNS cache is searched and if the domain is current in the cache, detailed information about its DNS records, queues, and connections are displayed.
It is important to note the metrics displayed are for the life of the domain in the DNS cache. It is possible for the system to display zero deliveries for a domain to which Momentum has delivered messages if the domain record has been removed and subsequently reinserted into the DNS cache.

Note
This console command manipulates the route cache , and likewise with the dig and refresh domain commands. The DNS cache , as manipulated by the dns_cache series of console commands.
The configuration will only appear if the domain in question has explicit per-domain configuration options set.
Domain hotmail.com { max_outbound_connections = 20 }
The name of the domain is displayed as well as the number of seconds it will continue to be valid in the cache (time-to-live, TTL).
'hotmail.com' has 4 MXs and a TTL of 1902 seconds
shows the domain name (hotmail.com), number of MXs and the number of seconds remaining before this record is refreshed.
[5 mx1.hotmail.com TTL:1902]
displays combined MX and Host information. 5 denotes the MX prefrence, mx1.hotmail.com is the MX's hostname and 1902 is the DNS TTL.
[65.54.254.145] IPv4 (77.34ms con 9957.49ms dlv)
displays information representing one of the address records A/AAAA (A in this case) for a host. 77.34ms denotes the average (decayed) length of time required to establish a connection to that IP address. 9957.49ms denotes the average (decayed) amount of time spent delivering a single email message (from MAIL FROM to receipt of confirmation) to that IP address.
A '=>' preceding an IP address indicates that it would be chosen for the next connection to this domain if a connection were to be opened at this moment.
A '*' preceding an IP address indicates that the IP address has failed due to a connect() call that could not be completed. Reasons for connect() failures include refused connections or connections that timed out during one of the SMTP phases. If the address has failed, the age of that failure will be displayed at the end of the line as above: "89.27s since failure." This indicates how long ago the failure occurred.
The number of messages in the system that require immediate delivery attempts.
The number of messages in the system that have been delayed. A message is delayed due to transient delivery failures (4*xx* SMTP codes) and a retry time is calculated for the message. When that retry time is reached, the message will be moved from the delayed queue to the active queue.
The total number of messages delivered to this domain since insertion into the DNS cache.
The total number of permanently failed delivery attempts to this domain since insertion into the DNS cache.
The current number of established outbound SMTP sessions.
Below the count is a list that details the system file descriptor and IP address that each SMTP session is using. The state reflects the current point in the SMTP transaction and the length of time since entering that state.
