Suppose your (ab)user is in a coffee shop (wearing appropriate hazmat
gear of course). They load their web browser. It's visited
secret-project.university-example.edu previously. Being extremely
helpful, the browser tries to prefetch the address for
secret-project.university-example.edu. When that doesn't work, it then
tries secret-project.university-example.edu.coffeeshop-example.com. And
so on, and so forth. (*cough* .cisco *cough* .belkin... no it's not
COVID, I seem to have some DNS caught in my throat...)
Hello,
Not only for those private domain names, but zone data also includes the
administrative structure of corp/group.
For example, Colleges and Departmnts, administration offices and their
sub-domains and MX records were defined in this zone file.
Regards.
