14 unusual facts about Domain Name System


Address space

Some nested domains hierarchy appears in the case of directed ordered tree as for the Domain Name System or a directory structure; this similar to hierarchical design of postal addresses.

The Domain Name System maps its names to (and from) network-specific addresses (usually IP addresses), which in turn may be mapped to link layer network addresses via Address Resolution Protocol.

Bert Hubert

He is best known for being the principal author of the popular open source DNS server suite PowerDNS.

Comparison of DNS server software

This article presents a comparison of the features, platform support, and packaging of independent implementations of Domain Name System (DNS) name server software.

Each of these DNS servers is an independent implementation of the DNS protocols, capable of resolving DNS names for other computers, publishing the DNS names of computers, or both.

Data Processing Iran Co.

The company also offers a series of Cloud services,Internet-related services, namely dedicated servers; colocation services; Web hosting services, such as shared hosting, shared mail, DNS recording, and domain registration services; and managed services, including network services, security solutions, managed application services, storage and backup solutions, monitoring and reporting, and professional services.

Domain Name System

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.

To make this possible, ICANN approved the Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) system, by which user applications, such as web browsers, map Unicode strings into the valid DNS character set using Punycode.

HDE Controller X

It allows server administrators to set up new websites, e-mail accounts, DNS entries, through a web-based interface.

Internet Identity

The suite provides protection against Internet threats, including phishing, malware attacks and Domain Name System (DNS) hijackings.

ISO 3166-3

However, alpha-2 codes which were deleted before the popularization of the Domain Name System in the late 1980s and early 1990s were never used for the Internet's country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

Kaskus

On May 26, 2012, Kaskus management was forced to change their domain from .us to .co.id because of errors on the Domain Name System (DNS).

Network service

Examples are the Domain Name System (DNS) which translates domain names to Internet protocol (IP) addresses and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign networking configuration information to network hosts.

Punycode

Punycode is intended for the encoding of labels in the Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) framework, such that these domain names may be represented in the ASCII character set allowed in the Domain Name System of the Internet.


CacheFly

CacheFly was the first company to offer CDN service that rely solely on TCP Anycast for routing, rather than DNS based global load balancing.

Chaosnet

Chaosnet can be regarded as a contemporary of both the PUP protocols invented by PARC, and the Internet Protocol (IP), and was recognized as one of the other network classes (other than "IN") in the Domain Name System.

DNS zone transfer

DNS zone transfer, also sometimes known by the inducing DNS query type AXFR, is a type of DNS transaction.

Fast flux

Fast flux is a DNS technique used by botnets to hide phishing and malware delivery sites behind an ever-changing network of compromised hosts acting as proxies.

Google Wave Federation Protocol

Some features of Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol inherited by the wave federation protocol are the discovery of IP addresses and port numbers, using Domain Name System (DNS) SRV records, and TLS authentication and encryption of connections.

Resolv.conf

In most Unix-like operating systems and others that implement the BIND Domain Name System (DNS) resolver library, the resolv.conf configuration file contains information that determines the operational parameters of the DNS resolver.
