NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.


Question 13
Correct answer: Question 13

Explanation:

BOX 1: Run the command: nslookup -type=a www.contoso.com 8.8.8.8

nslookup is a command-line tool that queries DNS servers for information about domain names and IP addresses. It can be used to troubleshoot DNS issues and verify DNS configurations1. The -type option specifies the type of DNS record to query. The -type=a option queries for A records, which map domain names to IPv4 addresses1. The www.contoso.com argument specifies the domain name to query. The 8.8.8.8 argument specifies the DNS server to use for the query, which is a public DNS server provided by Google2. By running this command, you can verify if the Azure Public DNS zone is configured according to the requirements by checking if the A record for www.contoso.com matches the expected IPv4 address. If the A record is missing or incorrect, you can use the Azure portal, PowerShell, or Azure CLI to create or update it in your DNS zone3.

Box2: Create NS records

NS (Name Server) records are used to delegate a domain or subdomain name to a set of authoritative DNS servers, which can provide information about that domain. In this scenario, there appears to be an issue with resolving the domain in question via public DNS lookup since it's only resolving locally on one server and not across all networks. By creating NS records for the domain, authoritative nameservers will be identified and designated as responsible for providing accurate information about the specific zone. This will ensure your domain is properly distributed on various different network zones and help users globally reach your website without any delays or connectivity problems. Alternatively, SRV (Service locator) record is used when you have multiple servers offering similar services such as email or SIP but want to use a weight system indication greater trustworthiness/proximity of datacenters within providers dns infrastructure. And SOA (Start Of Authority) - indicates who in control ofthe DNS zone and provides other related information such as the serial number and default TTL values. Therefore, option

A. Create NS records would be the best solution for resolving public DNS lookup issues in this scenario. Reference: - "NS record," Microsoft Docs, accessed March 27, 2023. [Online]. Available:
