7.     What is DNS? 4 public DNS server names and IP.

Ans: DNS (Domain Name System) lets users connect to websites using domain names instead of IP addresses. DNS is a Process that resolve Name to IP & Vice –versa.

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

We can see this file with command: ipconfig  /displaydns

We can flush DNS with: ipconfig /flushdns

 

2.     Iterative Query: Query to outside the host. it refers the DNS client to the Root Server, or another Authoritative Name Server which is nearest to the required DNS zone.
