2. MX record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record

   The characteristic payload information of an MX record [1] is a preference value (above labelled "Priority"), and the domain name of a mailserver ("Host" above).. The priority field identifies which mailserver should be preferred - in this case the values are both 10, so mail would be expected to flow evenly to both onemail.example.com and twomail.example.com - a common configuration.

3. Wildcard DNS record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record

   A wildcard DNS record is a record in a DNS zone that will match requests for non-existent domain names. A wildcard DNS record is specified by using a * as the leftmost label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com.

   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.

   For example, to do a reverse lookup of the IP address 8.8.4.4 the PTR record for the domain name 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa would be looked up, and found to point to dns.google. If the A record for dns.google in turn pointed back to 8.8.4.4 then it would be said to be forward-confirmed .

   It indicates the format of the data and it gives a hint of its intended use. For example, the A record is used to translate from a domain name to an IPv4 address, the NS record lists which name servers can answer lookups on a DNS zone, and the MX record specifies the mail server used to handle mail for a domain specified in an e-mail address.

7. DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication...

   DANE needs the DNS records to be signed with DNSSEC for its security model to work. Additionally DANE allows a domain owner to specify which CA is allowed to issue certificates for a particular resource, which solves the problem of any CA being able to issue certificates for any domain. DANE solves similar problems as: Certificate Transparency
