Explain briefly the components of DNS?

Answer»

DNS Components: There are three important components in the Domain Name System.  

They are: 

1. Namespace 

2. Name server 

3. Zone

1. Name Space: 

The domain names must be very unique and appropriate.

The names should be selected from a namespace. The name space can be organized in two ways

Flat name space

Hierarchical name space

Flat name space is where the name is assigned to the IP address. They do not have any specific structure.

Hierarchical name space is where the name is made up of several parts. The first part may represent the nature of organization, the second part may represent the name of organization, and third part may represent the department of the organization.

Domain name space was designed to achieve hierarchical name space.

2. Name Servers:

The information which needs to be stored in Domain name space is quite large. Single system would be inefficient to store such a huge amount as responding to requests from all over the world. It also becomes unreliable because in case of any failure the data becomes inaccessible.

Name Server is a main part in the Domain Name System (DNS). It trAnswer:late the domain names to IP addresses.

Name server contains the DNS database which consists of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.

There is a need to store large number of domain names for the world wide usage, so plenty of servers are used in the hierarchical manner.

Name servers do the important task of searching the domain names. While you searching a website, Local Name server (provided by ISP) ask the different name servers until one of them find out your Answer:wer. At last it returns IP address for that domain name.

3. Zone: 

The entire name space is divided into many different zones. It is the area up to which the server has access.

Zone is defined as a group of contiguous domains and sub domains. If the zone has a single domain, then zone and domain are the same.

Every zone has the server which contains a database called zone file. Using the zone file, the DNS server replies the queries about hosts in its zone. There are two copies of zone files available, Master file and slave file.

10.

How are the name spaces organized?

Answer»

The name space can be organized in two ways 

1. Flat name space

2. Hierarchical name space

11.

Name the four parts of URL?

Answer»

URL is made up four parts-protocols, hostname, folder name and file name. Each part has its own specific functions. Depending on the applications, additional information can be added to the URL but the common and fundamental URL consists of these four parts.

12.

What is Inverse domain?

Answer»

Inverse domain performs the opposite task of normal DNS query. It converts the IP address to domain name.

13.

What are the differences between Absolute URL and Relative URL?

Answer»

Absolute URL:

1. Absolute URL is the complete address of a document on the Internet.

2. Absolute URL contains all the information that are required to find the files on the . Internet.

3. If any of the four parts is missing then the browser would not able to link to the specific file. So, all the four parts is very important in absolute URL.

Relative URL:

1. Relative URL is the partial address of a document on the Internet.

2. Relative URL contains only file name or file name with folder name.

3. We can use this type of URL when the file is on the same server related to original document.

14.

Differentiate web address and URL?

Answer»

Web Address:

1. A Web Address more commonly defines a unique name that helps people remember a URL

2. It is usually in simpler form such as Amazon.com

3. Generally your browser will recognize the proper URL when you type in a web address

URL:

1. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A is the address of a particular website, audio stream or document available on the web

2. URL’s consist of the Internet protocol needed to access the item you wish to locate on the host computer.

15.

47.

Explain about the name server?

Answer»

Name Servers:

1. The information which needs to be stored in Domain name space is quite large. Single system would be inefficient and insufficient to store such a huge amount as responding to requests from all over the world. It also becomes unreliable because in case of any failure the data becomes inaccessible.

2. The solution to this problem is to distribute the information among many computers. The best way to do that is to divide the entire space into many domains and sub domains 

3. DNS also allows domains to be further divided into sub domains. By this, the solution to the problem is obtained and hierarchy of servers is also maintained.

4. Name servers store the data and provide it to clients when queried by them. Name Servers are programs that run on a physical system and store all the zone data.

5. Name Server is a main part in the Domain Name System (DNS). It translate the domain names to IP addresses.

6. Name server contains the DNS database which consists of domain names and their corresponding IP addresses.

7. There is a need to store large number of domain names for the world wide usage, so plenty of servers are used in the hierarchical manner.

8. Name servers do the important task of searching the domain names. While you searching a website, Local Name server (provided by ISP) ask the different name servers until one of them find out your Answer:wer. At last it returns IP address for that domain name.

Types of Name Servers

There are three types of Name Servers which control the entire Domain Name System:

(i) Root Name Server – top level server which contains entire DNS tree, maintained by ICANN. There are 13 servers.

(ii) Primary/Master Name Server – contains a zone resource records. These records are updatable by domain name holders such as organizations.

(iii) Secondary/Slave Name Server – contains a copy of primary server files. This server has no authority to update, but reduce the workload of master server by sharing the queries.
