• TheDNSdatabaseisdistributed.

• ADNSdatabasealsostoresadditionalrecords.

7. Working process of DNS

Ans: When a DNS client needs to look up a name used in a program, it queries DNS servers to resolvethename.Forexample, thenamespecifiedcouldbetheFQDNforacomputer,suchas“mumbai.jetking.com.”, DNS queries resolve in a number of different ways. A client can sometimes answer a query locally using cached information obtained from a previous query. The DNS server can use its own cache of resource record information to answer a query. A DNS server can also query or contact other DNS servers on behalf of the requesting client to fully resolve the name, then send an answer back to the client. This process is known as recursion.

In addition, the client itself can attempt to contact additional DNS servers to resolve a name. When a client does so, it uses separate and additional nonrecursive queries based on referral answers from servers. This process is known as iteration.

In general, the DNS query process occurs in two parts:

• Anamequerybeginsataclientcomputerandispassedtoaresolver,theDNSClientservice,forresolution.
