Ch4 Dns benefits: Scalability- Because dns is capable of distributing workload across several databases or computers, it can scale

to handle any level of name resolutions reqired. Constancy-Hostnames Remain constant Ease of Use-Users Access computers using easy to remember names such as www.microsoft.com rather than a numerical ip addresss. Simplicity- users need to learn only on naming convention to find resources on either the internet or intranet. Caching server hosts no zones

Standard zone-text based zone file Filebacked zone

Three types of zones -primary -secondary -stub

Standard primary zone- hosts a read/write copy of the dns zone in which resource records are created and managed. Only one server can host and load the master copy of the zone; no additional primary servers for the zone are permitted and only the server hosting the primary zone is allowed to accept dynamic updates and process. Standard secondary zone- a copy of the zone file may be stored on one or more servers to balance network load, provide falut tolerance or avoid forcing queries across slow, wan link.is a read only copy of standard primary dns zone. Fullzone transfer (axfr)= entire contents of the zone is copied form the primary server to the secondary server during each zone transfer.

Incremental zone transfer(ixfr)-in which only changed info is transmitted after an initial axfr. In order to cut down on bandwidth usage.

Reverse lookup-196.158.63.2 = www.helloworld.net Stub zone-contains only those resources records necessary to identify the authorative

Storing a zone benefits= 1. Fault tolerance 2. Security 3. Zones are multimaster 4. Efficient replication 5. Maintain use of 2ndary zones

Dacl(distortionary access control list)- enables you to specify which users and groups may modify the dns zones. 3 replication scopes ways: -to all dc in the domain. -To all dc that are dns servers in the local domain. Aka domain dns zones application partition -to all dc that are also dns servers in the entire forest also known as forest dns zones application. *The following events triggers zone transfers: 1. A transfer is manually imitated using the console at the secondary server. 2. Zone refreshed interval expires 3. Dns server service is started at he secondary server 4. The master server notifies the secondary server of a zone change or changes.
