This is similar to how you might ask a driver to take you to the White House (similar to a DNS name) instead of to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (similar to an IP address).

The simplest type of fast flux, named "single- flux", is characterized by multiple individual nodes within the network registering and de-registering their addresses as part of the DNS A (address) record list for a single DNS name. This combines round robin DNS with very short—usually less than five minutes (300s)—TTL (time to live) values to create a constantly changing list of destination addresses for that single DNS name. The list can be hundreds or thousands of entries long. A more sophisticated type of fast flux, referred to itself as "double-flux",Shateel A. Chowdhury, "MALICIOUS USES OF FAST-FLUX SERVICE NETWORKS (FFSN)", Hackers Terminal, Apr 29, 2019 is characterized by multiple nodes within the network registering and de-registering their addresses as part of the DNS Name Server record list for the DNS zone.

Normally DNS name servers are set up in clusters. The database within each cluster is synchronized through zone transfers. The SOA record for a zone contains data to control the zone transfer. This is the serial number and different timespans.

152.2 is assigned to Wikimedia, it is represented as a DNS name in reverse order: 2.152.80.208.in-addr.arpa. When the DNS resolver gets a pointer (PTR) request, it begins by querying the root servers, which point to the servers of American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) for the 208.in-addr.arpa zone. ARIN's servers delegate 152.80.208.

Most of the time, there is no correspondence between DNS structure and data contained in the certificates. The only exception is when the Domain Component (DC) attributes are used in the certificate's Subject. The DC attributes are used to specify domain components of a DNS name, for example the domain name example.com could be represented by using the dc=com, dc=example format.

RFC 1035, Domain Names - Implementation and Specification, P. Mockapetris, The Internet Society (November 1987) 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 lookups (PTR), and domain name aliases (CNAME). Although not intended to be a general purpose database, DNS has been expanded over time to store records for other types of data for either automatic lookups, such as DNSSEC records, or for human queries such as responsible person (RP) records. As a general purpose database, the DNS has also been used in combating unsolicited email (spam) by storing a real-time blackhole list (RBL).

Bulgaria moves to register Cyrillic Internet domain , email from Dessi Pefeva to ICANN's At-Large mailing list, 24 June 2008; accessed 24 September 2008. The ASCII DNS name of the domain would be , according to rules of the Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications procedures. It has previously been rejected by ICANN twice, due to its visual similarity to Brazil's .br, but in 2014 an ICANN panel determined that .

Below the root, Internet resources are organized into a hierarchy of domains, administered by the respective registrars and domain name holders. A DNS name server is a server that stores the DNS records, such as address (A, AAAA) records, name server (NS) records, and mail exchanger (MX) records for a domain name (see also List of DNS record types) and responds with answers to queries against its database.

Many servers were originally using US-ASCII and Internationalization concerns were not taken into consideration until much later."WHOIS Internalization Issues", November 2012 This might impact the usability or usefulness of the WHOIS protocol in countries outside the USA. In the case of internationalized domain names it is the responsibility of the client application to perform the translation of the domain name between its native language script and the DNS name in punycode.

These efforts culminated in the creation of the first internationalized country code top-level domains (IDN ccTLDs) for production use in 2010. In the Domain Name System, these domains use an ASCII representation consisting of the prefix "`xn--`" followed by the Punycode translation of the Unicode representation of the language-specific alphabet or script glyphs. For example, the Cyrillic name of Russia's IDN ccTLD is "рф". In Punycode representation, this is "`p1ai`", and its DNS name is "`xn-- p1ai`".

The second user who accesses the home page will be sent to the next IP address, and the third user will be sent to the third IP address. In each case, once the IP address is given out, it goes to the end of the list. The fourth user, therefore, will be sent to the first IP address, and so forth. A round-robin DNS name is, on rare occasions, referred to as a "rotor" due to the rotation among alternative A records.

The Arabic domain name ' (meaning "Egypt", romanized as masr' or misrTwo New Licenses for (.masr) Domain Name Registration to Be Launched ) is the internationalized country code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet for Egypt.First IDN ccTLDs available, ICANN announcement, 2010-05-05 'Historic' day as first non-latin web addresses go live, BBC, 6 May 2010. Its ASCII DNS name is `xn--wgbh1c`, obtained by the Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) transcription method.

The TLSA RR (Resource Record) for a service is located at a DNS name that specifies certificate constraints should be applied for the services at a certain TCP or UDP port. At least one of the TLSA RRs must provide a validation (path) for the certificate offered by the service at the specified address. Not all protocols handle Common Name matching the same way. HTTP requires that the Common Name in the X.509 certificate provided by the service matches regardless of the TLSA asserting its validity.

Clients may be tracked by IP address, DNS name, software version they use, files they share, queries they initiate, and queries they answer to. Much is known about the network structure, routing schemes, performance load and fault tolerance of P2P systems in general and Gnutella in particular. This document concentrates on the user privacy that reveals by the Gnutella and eMule networks. It might be surprising, but the eMule protocol does not provide much privacy to the users, although it is a P2P protocol which is supposed to be decentralized.

Say a library system uses URNs in the ISBN namespace to identify books and DNS subdomains to identify its library branches. HTTP URI syntax does not provide a standard way to express the URN for the book title in the context of the DNS name for the library branch. XRI cross-reference syntax solves this problem by allowing the library (and even automated programs running at the library) to programmatically construct the XRIs necessary to address any book at any branch. Examples: xri://broadview.library.example.com/(urn:isbn:0-395-36341-1) xri://shoreline.library.example.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards-track RFC 6762 (February 20, 2013) reserves the use of the domain name label local as a pseudo-top-level domain for hostnames in local area networks that can be resolved via the Multicast DNS name resolution protocol. Any DNS query for a name ending with the label local must be sent to the mDNS IPv4 link-local multicast address 224.0.0.251, or its IPv6 equivalent FF02::FB. Domain name ending in local, may be resolved concurrently via other mechanisms, for example, unicast DNS.

The domain was entered into the DNS root on 20 October 2001, and was the first sponsored top- level domain to be instituted through ICANN's action. The purpose of this domain is to reserve a segment of the DNS name space reserved for the use of museums; a name space whose conventions are defined by the museum community. The TLD grants users a quick and intuitive way to verify the authenticity of a museum site. Conversely, since it is a type of formal third-party certification, museums using this name space obtain a way to assure visitors of the site's validity.

The need for an address higher-level than the IP address was well understood since the mid-1970s. However, application names were not introduced and DNS was designed and deployed, continuing to use well- known ports to identify applications. The advent of the web and HTTP created a need for application names, leading to URLs. URLs, however, tie each application instance to a physical interface of a computer and a specific transport connection, since the URL contains the DNS name of an IP interface and TCP port number, spilling the multihoming and mobility problems to applications.

The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol is used by both IP protocols to resolve fully qualified domain names (FQDN) and IP addresses, but dual stack requires that the resolving DNS server can resolve both types of addresses. Such a dual stack DNS server would hold IPv4 addresses in the A records, and IPv6 addresses in the AAAA records. Depending on the destination that is to be resolved, a DNS name server may return an IPv4 or IPv6 IP address, or both. A default address selection mechanism, or preferred protocol, needs to be configured either on hosts or the DNS server.

The share can be accessed by client computers through some naming convention, such as UNC (Universal Naming Convention) used on DOS and Windows PC computers. This implies that a network share can be addressed according to the following: :`\\ServerComputerName\ShareName` where `ServerComputerName` is the WINS name, DNS name or IP address of the server computer, and `ShareName` may be a folder or file name, or its path. The shared folder can also be given a ShareName that is different from the folder local name at the server side. For example, `\\server\c$` usually denotes a drive with drive letter C: on a Windows machine.

Simplified view showing how Services interact with Pod networking in a Kubernetes cluster A Kubernetes service is a set of pods that work together, such as one tier of a multi-tier application. The set of pods that constitute a service are defined by a label selector. Kubernetes provides two modes of service discovery, using environmental variables or using Kubernetes DNS. Service discovery assigns a stable IP address and DNS name to the service, and load balances traffic in a round- robin manner to network connections of that IP address among the pods matching the selector (even as failures cause the pods to move from machine to machine).

Split-brain is a computer term, based on an analogy with the medical Split- brain syndrome. It indicates data or availability inconsistencies originating from the maintenance of two separate data sets with overlap in scope, either because of servers in a network design, or a failure condition based on servers not communicating and synchronizing their data to each other. This last case is also commonly referred to as a network partition. Although the term split-brain typically refers to an error state, Split-brain DNS (or Split-horizon DNS) is sometimes used to describe a deliberate situation where internal and external DNS services for a corporate network are not communicating, so that separate DNS name spaces are to be administered for external computers and for internal ones.

The group that created Zlob has also created a Mac Trojan with similar behaviors (named RSPlug). Some variants of the Zlob family, like the so-called "DNSChanger", add rogue DNS name servers to the registry of Windows-based computers and attempt to hack into any detected router to change the DNS settings, potentially re-routing traffic from legitimate web sites to other suspicious web sites. DNSChanger in particular gained significant attention when the U.S. FBI announced it had shut down the source of the malware in late-November 2011. However, as there were millions of infected computers which would lose access to the internet if the malware group's servers were shut down, the FBI opted to convert the servers into legitimate DNS servers.
