They are used for troubleshooting, system monitoring, and anti-spam purposes. PTR records are handled by ISPs, while domain owners are responsible for A records. Matching reverse and forward DNS records can indicate a legitimate […]

What’s Round Robin DNS?

[ad_1] Round Robin DNS assigns multiple IP addresses to alternate responsibility for allowing website users to access the company’s website, lightening server and bandwidth requirements. IP addresses are awarded in a random order, and users see no difference. Round Robin DNS (Domain Name Server) is a creative way to lighten the server and bandwidth requirements […]
