  2. Subdomain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdomain

    Network Operations teams insist that it is inappropriate to use the term "subdomain" to refer to any mapping other than that provided by zone NS (name server) records and any server-destination other than that. According to RFC 1034, "a domain is a subdomain of another domain if it is contained within that domain". Based on that definition, a ...

  3. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    The DNS is used for efficient storage and distribution of IP addresses of block-listed email hosts. A common method is to place the IP address of the subject host into the sub-domain of a higher level domain name, and to resolve that name to a record that indicates a positive or a negative indication. For example:

  4. Split-horizon DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-horizon_DNS

    In computer networking, split-horizon DNS (also known as split-view DNS, split-brain DNS, or split DNS) is the facility of a Domain Name System (DNS) implementation to provide different sets of DNS information, usually selected by the source address of the DNS request.

  5. Host (network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_(network)

    A network host is a computer or other device connected to a computer network. A host may work as a server offering information resources, services, and applications to users or other hosts on the network. Hosts are assigned at least one network address. A computer participating in networks that use the Internet protocol suite may also be called ...

  6. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    This prefix occupies the most-significant bits of the address. The number of bits allocated within a network to the prefix may vary between subnets, depending on the network architecture. The host identifier is a unique local identification and is either a host number on the local network or an interface identifier.

  7. Cross-domain solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-domain_solution

    A cross-domain solution (CDS) is an integrated information assurance system composed of specialized software or hardware that provides a controlled interface to manually or automatically enable and/or restrict the access or transfer of information between two or more security domains based on a predetermined security policy.

  8. DNS zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_zone

    Each delegation confers essentially unrestricted technical autonomy over the allocated space. An area of one or more subdomains that have been delegated for management is called a DNS zone. A zone always starts at a domain boundary to include all leaf nodes (hosts) in the domain or ends at the boundary of another independently managed zone.

  9. DNS zone transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_zone_transfer

    The actual data transfer process begins by the client sending a query (opcode 0) with the special query type AXFR (value 252) over the TCP connection to the server. Although DNS technically supports AXFR over User Datagram Protocol (UDP), it is considered not acceptable due to the risk of lost, or spoofed packets.
