The A stands for address, and each resource record maps a name to an address. wormhole.movie.edu acts as a router. It has two addresses associated with its name and therefore two address records. Unlike host table lookups, a DNS lookup can return more than one address for a name; a lookup of wormhole.movie.edu returns two. If the requestor and name server are on the same network, some name servers place the "closest" address first in the response for better performance. This feature is called address sorting and is covered in Chapter 10. If address sorting does not apply, the addresses are rotated between queries so subsequent responses list them in a different order. This "round robin" feature first shows up in BIND 4.9. |
