Describe the UNIX/Linux DNS Tool - Domain Information Groper (DIG)?

Very similar to nslookup, but it runs noninteractively, meaning you ask it the question.
When you run dig you tend to get large amounts of information.

Is it possible to go beyond Internet Servers with DNS? Explain WHY or WHY NOT.

Yes, it is possible to go beyond Internet Servers with DNS mostly by using DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) which allows DNS Servers to get automatic updates of IP Addresses.

Windows does a nice job of visualizing cached records by placing all cached lookups in folders that share the first name of the ______, with subfolders that use the name of the second-level domain?

top-level domain

A _________ attaches a piece of data, such as its IP Address , to a name in the DNS tree?

record

A single DNS Server can act as the Authoritative Name Server for only one domain? True False

False

A longer TTL means DNS Records will be held in caches longer? True False

True Explanation: TTL = Time-to-Live

Windows Server uses the term Forward Lookup Zones for Normal Zones and Reverse Lookup Zones for zones that map IP Address to Names? True False

True

Which is TRUE of Hosts on the Internet? Names must include the domain name. Names must have a common part. IP Addresses must be unique. IP Addresses must be the same length.

IP Addresses must be unique.

A Zone is a container for a single domain that gets filled with records? True False

True

Which command is used in Windows to eliminate any DNS caches on the local system? nslookup /flushdns ipconfig /flushdns tracert /ipconfig winipcfg /tracert

ipconfig /flushdns

The term "Host Name" can refer to only the leftmost label of the DNS Name (which is often the computer name) or the whole FQDN? True False

True

In the official RFC Language, an A Record is for a "Host Address"? True False

True

Which Protocol enables DNS Servers to get automatic updates of IP Addresses of computers in their Forward Lookup Zones, mainly by talking to the local DHCP Server? ARP DDNS NetBIOS over TCP/IP WINS

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

Routers have two interfaces? True False

True

Those using Unix/Linux have an extra DNS Tool called _________; it is similar to nslookup, but it only runs noninteractively - you ask it a question, it answers the question, and it puts you back at a regular command prompt? tracerout zone transfer reverse lookup domain information groper

domain information groper (DIG)

Within the DNS Hierarchy, which term refers to the DNS Servers just below the DNS Root? domain controllers second-level domain servers WINS servers top-level domain servers

top-level domain servers

Describe the difference between a Forward and Reverse Lookup Zone?

Forward Lookup resolves Host Names to IP Addresses. | Reverse Lookup resolves IP Addresses to Host Names.

Explain where names such as .com, .org, .net, .edu, .gov, .mil, and .int fit into the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) Hierarchy?

Those are Top-Level Domains and they fit right under the DNS Root Level.

How was Name Resolution handled before the Internet?

Name Resolution was simple using a Text File called Hosts, because ARPANET was only populated by a few dozen computers.

What can be determiend by running netstat with the -s option?

Displays several Statistics by Protocol that help you diagnose problems.

A __________ queries a Name Server with a name to get its associated IP Address?

Resolver

You can see your current DNS Server settings in Windows by typing __________ at the command prompt?

ipconfig /all

In Windows, Run __________ to explor the Route between you and whatever you have been trying to ping?

tracert

The TCP/IP folks came up with a new protocol called __________ in 1997 that enabled DNS Servers to get automatic updates of IP Addresses of computers in their Forward Lookup Zones, mainly by talking to the local DHCP Server?

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

SMTP Servers use _________ exclusively to determine where to send mail?

MX Records

All operating systems have a version of the ________ tool that enables DNS Server queries? winipcfg nslookup ipconfig tracert

nslookup

Which term refers to an Authentication and Integrity Protocol designed to prevent bad guys from impersonating legitimate DNS Servers? WINS IPSec Active Directory DNSSEC

DNSSEC

Which is your "Best Friend" when testing DNS? CACHE ping config WINS

ping

What enables a system to determine a FQDN by knowing the IP Address? cached lookups froward lookup zones wins reverse lookup zones

reverse lookup zones

When a computer using NetBIOS booted up, it broadcasted its ____________ along with its MAC Address? port numbers NetBIOS name IP Address Web Address

NetBIOS Name

Although you can use it independantly if you like, Windows DNS Server is the defualt resolve and name server for ___________ - Microsoft's batteries-included approach to managing enterprise Networks? WINS NetBIOS NetBEUI Active Directory

Actrive Directory

Every Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) will always have a ________ on the end to signify the root? asterisk (*) period (.) dash (-) pound sign (#)

period (.)

Compare the need for common DNS Domain Names, ex. ".com" or ".net" for DNS Names on the Internet as opposed to DNS Names on a Private TCP/IP Network?

Common DNS Names must always end with them but Private TCP/IP Networks can and often do ignore this and use whatever naming scheme they want for their DNS Names.

Describe the TCP/IP Protocol designed by Microsoft that enabled it to keep using NetBIOS names but dump the NetBEUI Protocol?

NetBT was the new protocol that Microsoft designed to fix the problem that there was a massive installed base of Windows Networks that still needed NetBIOS.

What is the main advantages of DNS?

1. No Need for memorizing IP Addresses 2. DNS Servers have fast connections. 3. Without DNS, we probably wouldn't have the Internet.
