DNS Records

In our last video, we learned what is DNS and how a website is found on the internet. In this video, we understand what are DNS Records, we look at the list of commonly used DNS records and we learn how to inspect the DNS records for a domain name. The DNS records that we have covered in this video are A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records. Also, we look at the host command to learn how to inspect the DNS Records.

Thanks so much for concise & plain explanation of DNS records.
It would be great if you had a video about how mail servers work, PTR, SPF records and email server security best practices.

As there could be only 4.2 billion IPv4 are possible and more than 14B IoT devices are there how DNS manage to find the address? I mean how DNS works for IPv4?

[shridharkotyal]

still the DNS is not clear to me, I want more detailed explanation with all small parts.

[muratfaizmf]

I didn't understand CNAME thing. It didn't explained rightly IMHO.

It could have been far better if you could show all records in Zone file and how they all work in conjunction to each other. bit helpful but not much.
