A administrator executes a command-line test on a workstation to verify name resolution for an internal web server named `portal.local`. The command output is shown below:
C:\> nslookup portal.local
Server: dns1.contoso.com
Address: 10.0.0.10
*** dns1.contoso.com can't find portal.local: Non-existent domain
Which of the following is the most likely cause of this error?
- The DNS server is missing an active host (A) record for portal.local.Cevap
- BThe workstation resolver cache is corrupted and returning stale data.
- CAn outbound firewall is blocking TCP port 53 traffic to the server.
- DThe hostname requires a Mail Exchanger (MX) record for standard name resolution.
Cevap
The DNS server is missing an active host (A) record for portal.local.
The output explicitly shows a successful query transaction with the DNS server at 10.0.0.10, which replied with 'Non-existent domain' (NXDOMAIN). This confirms that network communication with the DNS server is working, but the server has no host (A) record registered for portal.local.
