Computer Networking DNS Review Questions and Answers 100% Pass

DNS Use Cases - Answers -Translates hostname to IP Address

-Host/Mail Server Aliasing

Load Distribution (enables load balancing by allowing multiple IP Addresses to correspond to a single
domain name, DNS can direct users to different servers, or distribute traffic evenly and improve
performance)

Why Don't we centralize DNS - Answers -Single point of failure (If the central DNS server fails, it could
bring down the entire internet's domain resolution capabilities)

-Traffic Volume (A centralized DNS would struggle to handle millions of queries a day)

-Distance to centralized database

-Would require a lot of maintenance.

DNS Hiearchy - Answers - TLD (second level, domains such as .com .org .edu)

-Authoritative' (provide IP address of the requested domain)

-Root (Top-level, contains information for where to find the top level domains)

DNS iterative Query Process (example. Client wants the IP Address for www.amazon.co) - Answers 1.
Query root server (client first queries a root server to find out where the .com DNS servers are located

2.Query TLD server (The client then queries the .com DNS server to get information about the
amazon.com DNS servers)

3. Query Authoritative Server (Client queries the amazon.com DNS server to get the IP address for
www.amazon.com)

What is the importance of the Hierarchical Structure in DNS - Answers Ensures scalability and efficiency.
Each level in the DNS hierarchy focuses on a specific part of the domain name which allows the system
to distribute queries across the different servers. Also important for caching

Root name servers - Answers They are the starting point of the DNS query process and are the last
resort point that DNS servers contact when they cannot resolve a name. They are important since the
DNS system would not be able to locate TLD servers without them and would break the internet.

What is the role of ICANN - Answers They are responsible for managing the root DNS domain. ICANN
coordinates with various organizations to maintain the root server infrastructure

Local DNS name server - Answers -does not strictly belong to hierarchy

each ISP has one
