How do I create a DNS stub zone?

Since the target is a forward lookup zone, right click on Forward Lookup Zones and select New Zone. Click Next on the welcome screen that appears. Select Stub Zone on the zone type selection. You can also tick on Store the zone in Active Directory to make this zone replicated to other DNS server.

What contains stub zone?

A stub zone is a copy of a Domain Name System (DNS) zone that contains only resource records that identify the DNS servers for that zone. You can add either a forward lookup zone or a reverse lookup zone. You can add either an Active Directory-integrated zone or a file-backed zone.

What is the purpose of a stub zone DNS?

DNS stub zones are used to enable your DNS servers to resolve records in another domain. The information in the stub zone allows your DNS to contact the authoritative DNS server directly.

What is primary secondary and stub zone?

Types of DNS Zones In the original implementation of DNS found in RFCs 1034 and 1035, two different types of zones were defined: Primary zones, which store their zone information in a writable text file on the name server. Secondary zones, which store their zone information in a read-only text file on the name server.

What is the Sons of Anarchy record?

The DNS ‘start of authority’ (SOA) record stores important information about a domain or zone such as the email address of the administrator, when the domain was last updated, and how long the server should wait between refreshes. All DNS zones need an SOA record in order to conform to IETF standards.

What are the types of zones in DNS?

• Primary zone.
• Secondary zone.
• Active Directory-integrated zone.

• Reverse lookup zone.

What are the different types of DNS zones?

What are the three types of zone transfers?

There are three types of zone transfer to consider:

• Full zone transfer.
• Incremental zone transfer.
• AD replication.

What is the purpose of a zone transfer?

Zone transfers are typically used to replicate DNS data across a number of DNS servers or to back up DNS files. A user or server will perform a specific zone transfer request from a name server.

What is a stub resolver?

The DNS stub resolver is a component of the DNS that is accessed by application programs when using the DNS for e.g. resolving domain names to IP addresses. The stub resolver simply serves as an intermediary between the application requiring DNS resolution, and a recursive DNS resolver.

What are DNS zones?

A DNS zone is a portion of the DNS namespace that is managed by a specific organization or administrator. A DNS zone is an administrative space which allows for more granular control of DNS components, such as authoritative nameservers. The domain name space is a hierarchical tree, with the DNS root domain at the top.
