Sort DNS records according to their kind. Give a short description of each with examples, as well as an explanation of why they are utilized. Is it feasible for a web server and a mail server in an organization to use the same alias for a hostname?
A person's e-mail address is his or her login name @ the name of a DNS domain with
an MX record. Login names can be first names, last names, initials, and all kinds of
other names. Suppose that a large company decided too much e-mail was getting lost
because people did not know the login name of the recipient. Is there a way for them to
fix this problem without changing DNS? If so, give a proposal and explain how it works.
If not, explain why it is impossible.
For DNS query, it is natural to expect that the local DNS server may not know how to resolve an
address. In this case, further queries will be made by this local DNS server. If a hacker can find
"a way" to make a certain DNS server report back the wrong IP address, then anyone trying to
get to one Web address will be sent to a bogus one, without any obvious way for the user to
detect that anything is wrong. Likewise, email could be delivered to the wrong destination.
1) Describe two possible attacks to make the resolver report the wrong IP address.
