Charles Xavier Julion 10/22/13 Net 343-2 Chapter 9(Directory) 1. Which of the following best describes DNS?

(Choose all that apply.) a. Hierarchical database &d. Distributed database(p.354) 2. Which of the following accurately represents an FQDN? d. host.domain.top-leveldomain.subdomain (p.354)

3. A DNS server that cant resolve a query from its local data sends a recursive query to a root server. True or False? False (p.356) 4. A resource record containing an alias for another record is which of the following record types? b. CNAME (p.355) 5. What type of resource record is necessary to get a positive response from the command nslookup 192.168.100.10? a. ptr(p.355) 6. When a DNS server responds to a query with a list of name servers, what is the response called? Referral 7. Youre scanning the local cache on a DNS client, and you run across the notation ::1. What does this notation mean? Its the ipv6 local hos address 8. Your company just opened a small branch office where 10 computer users will work. You have installed a single Windows Server 2008 computer configured as a member server for basic file and print server needs. Users require DNS for Internet access and access to company resources. You decide to install DNS on the existing server. Which of the following types of installations makes the most sense? c. A caching-only DNS server 9. You have a DNS server outside your corporate firewall thats a stand-alone Windows Server 2008 server. It hosts a primary zone for your public Internet domain name, which is different from your internal Active Directory domain names. You want one or more of your internal servers to be able to handle DNS queries for your public domain and to serve as a backup for the primary DNS server outside the firewall. Which configuration should you choose for internal DNS servers? a. Configure a standard secondary zone. 10. DNS ServerA forwards a query to ForwarderB, which replies with a not found message. DNS ServerA continues the lookup by querying a root server. True or False? True 11. Which of the following is true about a stub zone? (Choose all that apply.) b. Their records are updated by the primary server automatically & d. They contain SOA and NS records. 12. You have Windows Server 2008 DNS servers, Windows Server 2003 DNS servers, and Windows 2000 DNS servers. You just created a new zone, newzone.com, that you want replicated by Active Directory to all DNS servers. Where should you store the zone? d. Domain partition 13. The DNS server at your headquarters holds a standard primary zone for the abc.com domain. A branch office connected by a slow WAN link holds a secondary zone for abc.com. Updates to the zone arent frequent. How can you decrease the amount of WAN traffic caused by the secondary zone checking for zone updates? c. In the SOA tab of the zones Properties dialog box, increase the refresh interval. 14. You have delegated a subdomain to a zone on another server. Several months later, you hear that DNS clients cant resolve host records in the subdomain. You discover that the IP address scheme was changed recently in the building where the server hosting the subdomain is located. What can you do to make sure DNS clients can resolve hostnames in the subdomain? b. Edit the NS record in the delegated zone on the parent DNS server 15. You want a DNS server to handle queries for a domain with a standard primary zone hosted on another DNS server. You dont want your server to be authoritative for that zone. How should

you configure your server? (Choose all that apply.) b. Configure a stub zone on your DNS server. & c. Configure a forwarder on your DNS server. Youre in charge of a standard primary zone for a large network with frequent changes to the DNS database. You want changes to the zone to be transmitted as quickly as possible to all secondary servers. What should you configure and on what servers? Configure DNS notifications on the primary zone. You have several hundred client computers using WINS to resolve names of some enterprise servers. Many of the client computers are laptops used to connect to the network remotely. Youre trying to eliminate WINS from your network to reduce the number of protocols and services you must support. What can you do, with the least administrative effort, that allows you to stop using WINS yet still allows clients computers to use a single-label name for accessing enterprise servers? a. Create a GlobalNames zone and add CNAME records for enterprise servers. You manage the DNS structure on your network. The network security group has decided that only one DNS server should contact the Internet. Under no circumstances should other servers contact the Internet for DNS queries, even if the designated server is down. You have decided that the DNS server named DNS-Int should be the server allowed to contact the Internet. How should you configure your DNS structure to accommodate these requirements? c. On each DNS server except DNS-Int, configure a forwarder pointing to DNS-Int. Disable the use of root hints if no forwarders are available. No changes are necessary on DNS-Int. You have a zone containing two A records for the same hostname, but each A record has a different IP address configured. The host records point to two servers hosting a high-traffic Web site, and you want the servers to share the load. After some testing, you find that youre always accessing the same Web server, so load sharing isnt occurring. What can you do to solve the problem? d. Enable the round robin option on the server. Which is the correct order in which a DNS client tries to resolve a name? c. Cache, Hosts file, DNS server You want to verify whether a PTR record exists for the AHost.ADomain.com host, but you dont know the IP address. Which of the following commands should you use? b. Nslookup AHost.ADomain.com, and then Nslookup IPAddress returned from the first Nslookup You have been communicating with ComputerB from your workstation for the past several hours. A colleague informs you that he has just made some changes to the IP addressing scheme on the network where ComputerB is located. You find that you can no longer communicate with ComputerB. What tool can you use on your workstation to solve the problem? c. Ipconfig To resolve a query, a DNS server looks in its local cache first. True or False? False You have just finished setting up your DNS infrastructure, and the DNS process seems to be working well. You want to be able to create a baseline of performance data so that if slowdowns occur later, you have information for comparison purposes. Which tool should you use? c. performance monitor Youre trying to track down a DNS name resolution problem. So far, you havent been able to get the data you need to see exactly whats happening when DNS queries fail. You need to see the actual data packets being sent to and from DNS servers. Which tool should you use? b. debug logging
