TKEY (transaction key) is a record type of the Domain Name System (DNS). TKEY resource records (RRs) can be used in a number of different modes to establish shared keys between a DNS resolver and name server .
DNS-SD (DNS Service Discovery [16]) allows clients to discover a named list of service instances and to resolve those services to hostnames using standard DNS queries. The specification is compatible with existing unicast DNS server and client software, but works equally well with mDNS in a zero-configuration environment.
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 ...
Returns all records of all types known to the name server. If the name server does not have any information on the name, the request will be forwarded on. The records returned may not be complete. For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned.
A major category of DNS server functionality, see above. Recursive A major category of DNS server functionality, see above. Recursion Access Control Servers with this feature provide control over which hosts are permitted DNS recursive lookups. This is useful for load balancing and service protection. Secondary Mode (or Slave Mode)
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.
In Internet computing, NSD (for "name server daemon") is an open-source Domain Name System (DNS) server.It was developed by NLnet Labs of Amsterdam in cooperation with the RIPE NCC, from scratch as an authoritative name server (i.e., not implementing the recursive caching function by design).
Because the DHCP server provides the DHCP client with server IP addresses, such as the IP address of one or more DNS servers, [8]: sec. 7 an attacker can convince a DHCP client to do its DNS lookups through its own DNS server, and can therefore provide its own answers to DNS queries from the client.
