Description
A recursive resolving or caching domain name system (DNS) server is an example of an information system that provides name/address resolution service for local clients. Authoritative DNS servers are examples of authoritative sources that own DNS data. Network elements that use technologies other than the DNS to map between host/service names and network addresses provide other means to enable clients to verify the authenticity and integrity of response data. DNS is not a firewall function. This requirement is a function of the DNS and is not applicable to the firewall.
