Question 33

What is a DNS client?

Answer 33

A DNS client is any machine that issues queries to a DNS server. The client hostname may or may not be registered in a DNS database. Clients issue DNS requests through processes called resolvers . You’ll sometimes see the terms client and resolver used synonymously.

Question 34

In terms of DNS, what is a ‘Resolver’?

Answer 34

Resolvers are software processes, sometimes implemented in software libraries, that handle the actual process of finding the answers to queries for DNS data. The resolver is also built into many larger pieces of software so that external libraries don’t have to be called to make and process DNS queries. Resolvers can be what you’d consider client computers or other DNS servers attempting to resolve an answer on behalf of a client (for example, Internet Explorer).

Question 35

In terms of DNS, what is a ‘Query’?

Answer 35

A query is a request for information sent to a DNS server. Three types of queries can be made to a DNS server: recursive, inverse, and iterative. We’ll discuss the differences between these query types in the section “DNS Queries” a bit later in the chapter.
