  2. List of DNS record types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types

    Address record. Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but it is also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc. AAAA. 28. RFC 3596 [2] IPv6 address record. Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host.

  3. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    A DNS name server is a server that stores the DNS records for a domain; a DNS name server responds with answers to queries against its database. The most common types of records stored in the DNS database are for start of authority ( SOA ), IP addresses ( A and AAAA ), SMTP mail exchangers (MX), name servers (NS), pointers for reverse DNS ...

  4. Domain Name System Security Extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System...

    The DS record is placed in the parent zone along with the delegating NS records. NSEC (next secure record) Contains a link to the next record name in the zone and lists the record types that exist for the record's name. DNS resolvers use NSEC records to verify the non-existence of a record name and type as part of DNSSEC validation.

  5. TXT record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TXT_record

    The DNS protocol specifies that when a client queries for a specific record type (e.g., TXT) for a certain domain name (e.g., example.com), all records of that type must be returned in the same DNS message. That may lead to large transactions with lots of "unnecessary" information being transferred and/or uncertainty about which TXT record to use.

  6. Reverse DNS lookup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup

    Reverse DNS lookup. In computer networks, a reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolution ( rDNS) is the querying technique of the Domain Name System (DNS) to determine the domain name associated with an IP address – the reverse of the usual "forward" DNS lookup of an IP address from a domain name. [1] The process of reverse resolving of an IP ...

  7. MX record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record

    MX record. A mail exchanger record ( MX record) specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name. It is a resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS). It is possible to configure several MX records, typically pointing to an array of mail servers for load balancing and redundancy.

  8. Extension Mechanisms for DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_mechanisms_for_DNS

    Extension Mechanisms for DNS ( EDNS) is a specification for expanding the size of several parameters of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol which had size restrictions that the Internet engineering community deemed too limited for increasing functionality of the protocol. The first set of extensions was published in 1999 by the Internet ...

  9. Multicast DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS

    Multicast DNS. In computer networking, the multicast DNS ( mDNS) protocol resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server. It is a zero-configuration service, using essentially the same programming interfaces, packet formats and operating semantics as unicast Domain Name System (DNS).
