    Assessment questions
    1. What do you mean by Domain Name Service (DNS)?
    *Is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database
    for computers, services, or any resource connected to the
    Internet or a private network. Most importantly, it translates
    human readable domain names into the numerical identifiers
    associated with networking equipment, enabling devices to be
    located and connected worldwide. Analogous to a network
    “phone book,” DNS is how a browser can translate a domain
    name (e.g., “facebook.com”) to the actual IP address of the
    server, which stores the information requested by the browser.

    2. What do you know about DNS history?


    *As the Internet grew to millions of domains, this was not
    sustainable. In 1983, Paul Mockapetris, a USC researcher, was
    tasked with developing a solution.
    3. How does DNS Work?
    *The DNS directory is distributed worldwide, stored in special
    servers called dns servers example “domain name servers” that
    are interconnected and communicate regularly to synchronize
    directory information and create redundancy.

    4. What are the key terminologies used in the subject of the DNS?
    *Domain Name-It’s an identifier of a host, a text line, that servers
    for mapping to an IP address for easy access to a websites
    *TLD (Top-level Domain)-Domain names have a hierarchy
    structure. The top-level domain is one of its parts, and it’s located,
    reading from right to left, just after the final dot for the root and
    before the secondary-level domain name.
    *FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)-It’s the most complete
    domain name that hosts can have.
    *Name Server – Converts domain name into an IP address
    Example. 192.168.1.1

    5. Name the record types in the DNS?


    *A record
    *CNAME record
    *MX record
    *PTR record

    6. Name the significant two types used in the DNS subject?


    *Recursive DNS Server
    *Authoritative DNS Server

    7. Define the critical advantages of DNS?


    *It can map to a new IP address if the host’s IP address changes.
    *The DNS system helps in providing security features for the
    users.
    *The DNS system is very flexible and consistent.
    *They are very efficient systems in the computer network and
    internet industry.
    *Domain name server and the system converts a domain name to
    IP address for accessible.

    8. Enlist the significant disadvantages of DNS?


    *The issues that are hard to troubleshoot and diagnose, related to
    DNS.
    *They are hard to maintain as if any issue or bug arises in the
    system, we have to seek professional advice, which may be costlier in
    times.
    *The IP address of any application or website can be easily
    manipulated and compromised by unauthorized users. That may cause
    data and information violation and misuse.
