j.gtld-servers.net gives the reference info about the domain mydots.net.
It says the dns servers for mydots.net is ns[1-2].dnsbed.com, following with
two NS's IP addresses.
My question is, when other BIND Cache get this reference, will it use the IP
addresses directly?
Or will it use the IP addresses get from the authoritative server?
I ask this because, when the IP addresses get from reference, are different
from the ones get from the authoritative server, what will be happened?
Thanks for your kind helps.
Jeff,
Think about this scenerio:
example.com uses ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com for it's name
servers(legal and proper).
If the resolver did not use the glue records presented from the root
servers, how would the resolver find www.example.com?
When you register name servers, these are called glue records. The info
in the additional section, comes from those glue records.
In your scenerio, the results will be unpredicatable and random.
Sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't work. It's important that
the glue records be correct.
