Describe the two ways in which to configure a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

What will be an ideal response?


Basically, you choose to configure a DNS server to work in one of two ways: as an authoritative DNS server or as a cache-only DNS server. Authoritative DNS servers store IP addresses and FQDNs of systems for a particular domain or domains. Cache-only DNS servers are never the authoritative server for a domain. They are only used to talk to other DNS servers to resolve IP addresses for DNS clients. Then they cache the FQDN to speed up future lookups.
