Understanding DNS Records

DNS records can be marked as instructions that are embedded in authoritative DNS servers. These records provide information regarding a domain such as its IP address and logical domain name.

The DNS records are compiled in the form of a series of text files. Whereas the language in which DNS records are written is marked as DNS syntax.

The DNS Records come in handy when you are required to check a domain’s information.

Different types of DNS Records include:

A denotes “Address”. The A Record in DNS represents the IPv4 Address of a domain name.

• ➔ AAAA Record

AAAA also known as “Quad A” record maps the domain name to its IPv6 address.

• ➔ CNAME Record

CNAME or the Canonical Name Record creates and manages the alias of a domain name. It is used to map the duplicate domain or subdomain names to a single domain name.

• ➔ ALIAS Record

ALIAS Record maps a fully qualified domain name to its other domain names.

• ➔ PTR Record

PTR or Pointer Record provides a reverse DNS lookup. It locates a domain name through its IP address.

• ➔ SOA Record

SOA stands for the Start of Authority Record which represents all the administrative information about a domain or DNS zone.

• ➔ SRV Record

Service Record indicates which specific services a domain handles. The specific services may include voice over IP or instant messaging. The SRV record represents all this information and specifies the hostname along with the port.

• ➔ TXT Record

TXT Record represents the information about a domain name which the outside sources can use for various purposes such as to prevent email spamming or verify domain ownership.

• ➔ MX Record

The MX records specify which mail server will receive incoming emails for a domain as per the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

• ➔ NS Record

The NS record represents the DNS server of a domain name.

Everything You Need to Know About Domain Name System

The Domain Name System is responsible for assigning a unique IP address to each domain name. The internet uses the DNS database to store the domain names in the form of their IP addresses. In other words, the DNS maps the domain names to IP addresses.

When a user enters a domain name in the search bar, the computer server identifies and locates it through its IP address. Basically, this is the DNS that enables a web browser to locate and load a web resource.

More simply, DNS provides the computer servers with the IP addresses of the domain names so that the users can access the requested web resources - this is all done through DNS resolution.

What is DNS Resolution?

Domain Name Server Resolution converts the domain names to their IP addresses. You can think of the DNS resolution as a way to identify and locate web resources.

The user uses an alphabetic domain name to access a resource on the internet but the computer server only understands the language of IP. Therefore, the domain name system is converted into its IP address so that a web browser can track and load the requested web resource.

In simple words, when a user searches a “domain name” to access a website, the web browser forwards it to the DNS which locates its IP address. The DNS basically converts the alphabetic domain name to numeric IP address and sends it back to the web browser so that it can track and load the requested resource.

How Does DNS Track Domain IP?

There are four DNS servers which enable the browsers to identify, locate, and load web resources.

DNS Recursor receives the query to find a web resource. Then the DNS Recursor takes the request to the Domain Nameserver which sends it to the TLD Nameserver which has the domain information.It then asks the Authoritative Nameserver to convert the requested domain name to its IP address.

This is how the four DNS Servers work together in a chain to locate and translate domain name to IP address and enable the loading of the requested web resource.
