The Domain Name System specifies a database of information
elements for network resources. The types of information
elements are categorized and organized with a list of DNS
record types, the resource records (RRs). Each record has a
name, a type, an expiration time (time to live), and
type-specific data.
The following is a list of terms used in this program:
----------------------------------------------------------------
| Vocabulary | Description |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| zone | A DNS zone is a specific portion of the DNS |
| | namespace in the Domain Name System (DNS), |
| | which a specific organization or administrator |
| | manages. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| name | In the Internet, a domain name is a string that |
| | identifies a realm of administrative autonomy, |
| | authority or control. Domain names are often |
| | used to identify services provided through the |
| | Internet, such as websites, email services and |
| | more. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| rtype | A record type indicates the format of the data |
| | and it gives a hint of its intended use. For |
| | example, the A record is used to translate from |
| | a domain name to an IPv4 address, the NS record |
| | lists which name servers can answer lookups on |
| | a DNS zone, and the MX record specifies the |
| | mail server used to handle mail for a domain |
| | specified in an e-mail address. |
----------------------------------------------------------------
| data | A records data is of type-specific relevance, |
| | such as the IP address for address records, or |
| | the priority and hostname for MX records. |
