During the course of the day you receive reports from Domain.com that they are experiencing problems with a computer named CERTKILLER-SR01 which is configured as a DNS server. Domain.com wants you to determine whether the correct host name is used whilst testing DNS on the local system to establish the host name ‘CERTKILLER-SR01’ is resolved to the IP address 137.134.12.33. Domain.com wants you to provide a solution to the problem at hand.
