You are installing a DNS on your UNIX server. Which address will you enter into the
named.local file?
A.
Loop back address.
B.
IP address of DNS server.
C.
IP address of gateway.
D.
Broadcast address.
Explanation:
You need to add an IP address that points to the server where you are running. By
using the loopback address, you are always pointing to the local server.
Incorrect Answers:
B: By using the loopback address, the named.local file is independent of the addressingof the
server. If you change the IP address, you need to remember to change the value inthe
named.local file, and if you copy the file to other servers, such as the secondaries,you need to
change the address each time.
C: The Gateway address is not used in this file.
D: The broadcast address would not be used in this file.
