Zorluk: OrtaDNS Infrastructure and Record Types

A network administrator is deploying a web application server that operates exclusively on an IPv6 address (`2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334`). While workstations can access the application using the raw IPv6 address, attempting to connect using the hostname `app.corp.contoso.com` fails. The administrator inspects the internal authoritative DNS zone file and finds the following resource record entry:

text
app.corp.contoso.com. 3600 IN A 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334

Which of the following configuration changes is required to resolve the hostname resolution issue?

  1. Replace the existing A record with an AAAA record mapping the hostname to the IPv6 address.Cevap
  2. B
    Change the A record to a CNAME record with the canonical target set to the IPv6 address string.
  3. C
    Update the DNS server firewall rules to force all client hostname lookup queries to transmit over TCP instead of UDP.
  4. D
    Modify the DNS resource record parameter to redirect queries from port 53 to HTTP port 80.

Cevap

Replace the existing A record with an AAAA record mapping the hostname to the IPv6 address.
Replacing the incorrect A record with an AAAA record allows the DNS server to return a valid 128-bit IPv6 address response to client queries requesting hostname resolution for `app.corp.contoso.com`. Standard A records are designed solely for 32-bit IPv4 addresses.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the host address family required for name resolution.
The server uses a 128-bit IPv6 address (`2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334`).
Different DNS resource record types are designed for specific network protocols and address formats.
2
Analyze the existing zone file configuration.
The zone contains an A record attempting to store an IPv6 address string.
Standard A records only accept 32-bit IPv4 dotted-decimal addresses and fail to parse or serve IPv6 addresses.
3
Select the correct DNS record type for IPv6 resolution.
Configure an AAAA record for `app.corp.contoso.com` pointing to the IPv6 address.
AAAA records are specifically designated in RFC 3596 for mapping hostnames to IPv6 addresses.
