Week 2:

Had to make note of the DNS record types, because it seemed like one of those things I was going to forget and I would need to know it on a test.

DNS RECORD TYPES

• A- Address Record used to resolve a name to an IPv4
• CNAME - Canonical Name Record used to alias one name to another
• AAAA - Address Record used to resolve a name to an IPv6
• PTR - Pointer Record used to resolve IPv4 address to a name
• MX - Mail Exchange used to identify the email servers for a domain
