202-450 Exam - Question 97


FILL BLANK -

According to the configuration below, what is the full e-mail address of the administrator for this domain?

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

In a DNS SOA (Start of Authority) record, the email address of the administrator responsible for the domain zone is specified. The format used in the SOA record replaces the '@' symbol with a dot ('.'). Based on the given configuration, 'mars.example.com' is the primary master name server, and 'pluto.example.com' should be converted to the administrator's email address by replacing the first dot with '@'. Therefore, the full email address of the administrator for this domain is [email protected].

The first name after SOA (mars.example.com) is the name of the primary master name server for the movie.edu zone. The second name (pluto.example.com) is the mail address of the person in charge of the zone if you replace the first "." with an "@". Often you'll see root, postmaster, or hostmaster as the email address. docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/dns/ch04_02.htm

While this field uses unusual dot separators (the @ symbol has special significance in a zone as described earlier) to define the e-mail address, in the case of the example file, mail will be sent to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fe8e928b8a91be9b869f938e929bd09d9193">[email protected]</a>. In DNS jargon this is known as the RNAME field.
