    Study Notes

    DNS Server Configuration

    • In this video, we're taking a look at a Windows Server supporting DNS services and many record types.
    • The server has an IP address of 192.168.1.100, and it's running Windows Server 2019.
    • The DNS Manager can be accessed through the Tools menu.

    Forward Lookup Zones

    • Forward Lookup Zones are used for normal lookups, asking what IP address is behind a name.
    • In the DNS Manager, ogit.local is the domain, and it has some A records.
    • To add a record to the domain, you can right-click and select "New A or AAAA record" or "Other New Records".

    A and AAAA Records

    • An A record is for an IPv4 address, and a AAAA record is for an IPv6 address.

    • To create a new A record, you need to specify the hostname and the IPv4 address.

    • Creating an A record can also automatically create a pointer record for reverse lookups.

      For a AAAA record, you need to specify the hostname and the IPv6 address, but it requires a reverse lookup zone to be created.

      Yes, that's correct. When creating an A record, a corresponding pointer (PTR) record for reverse lookup is typically created automatically by the DNS server. However, when creating a AAAA record for an IPv6 address, a PTR record for reverse lookup will not be automatically created. To set up reverse DNS lookup for IPv6 addresses, a specific reverse lookup zone needs to be configured and PTR records added manually.

    Reverse Lookup Zones

    • A reverse lookup zone is required for pointer records to be created.
    • The reverse lookup zone is created based on the first octets of the IP address.
    • For the 10.1.0 network, the reverse lookup zone is 0.1.10, and for the 192.168.192 network, it's 1.168.192.
    • For IPv6, the reverse lookup zone is created based on the network address space.

    Testing DNS Records

    • To test DNS records, you can use the nslookup command in the command line.
    • You can test A records by specifying the hostname and the DNS server.
    • You can test reverse lookups by specifying the IP address and the DNS server.
    • You can also test AAAA records by specifying the hostname and the DNS server.

    DNS Record Types

    • A record: for an IPv4 address
    • AAAA record: for an IPv6 address
    • MX record: for an email server
    • Canonical name record: an alias for another name
    • Pointer record: for reverse lookups, meaning you have an IP address and want to figure out what the name is behind it
    • There are many other record types, including SRV records for server location, and records for security and keying information.
