Can someone tell in which order the various files and servers are checked when a name needs to be resloved?

Thanks

Hey FnL, I'm not sure exactly what your asking so I'll just send you a big bag of good luck for the exam on Wednesday. Give us a lillte more detail and we'll see if we can help.

Something like resolution checks the DNS server in your own domain (eg f&l.co.uk), then the root of your domain (say .co.uk). If it still doesnt find the requested IP, it then goes to the root domain (.) and searches out from there.

Sorry I cant be clearer on this m8

 

One question before we start. What operating system are we talking about?

I only say that because you will need to know both UNIX/Linux and Windows.
