3. Reverse DNS lookup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup

   In computer networks, a reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolution (rDNS) is the querying technique of the Domain Name System (DNS) to determine the domain name associated with an IP address – the reverse of the usual "forward" DNS lookup of an IP address from a domain name. [1]

4. List of DNS record types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types

   Returns all records of all types known to the name server. If the name server does not have any information on the name, the request will be forwarded on. The records returned may not be complete. For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned.

5. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

   A DNS name server is a server that stores the DNS records for a domain; a DNS name server responds with answers to queries against its database. The most common types of records stored in the DNS database are for start of authority ( SOA ), IP addresses ( A and AAAA ), SMTP mail exchangers (MX), name servers (NS), pointers for reverse DNS ...

   dig is a network administration command-line tool for querying the Domain Name System (DNS).. dig is useful for network troubleshooting and for educational purposes. [2] It can operate based on command line option and flag arguments, or in batch mode by reading requests from an operating system file.

7. Blackhole server - Wikipedia

   Additionally, the answer returned is also allowed to be cached by recursive DNS servers. This is especially helpful because a second lookup for the same address performed by the same node would probably be answered from the local cache instead of querying the authoritative servers again. This helps reduce the network load significantly.

8. WHOIS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS

   Lookups of IP address allocations are often limited to the larger Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks (e.g., /24, /22, /16), because usually only the regional Internet registries (RIRs) and domain registrars run RWhois or WHOIS servers, although RWhois is intended to be run by even smaller local Internet registries, to provide more ...

9. Wildcard DNS record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record

   The Internet Software Consortium produced a version of the BIND DNS software that can be configured to filter out wildcard DNS records from specific domains. Various developers have produced software patches for BIND and for djbdns. Other DNS server programs have followed suit, providing the ability to ignore wildcard DNS records as configured.
