Which address should be entered into the name.local file?

Herman is installing the DNS on his Linux server. Which address should be entered into
the name.local file?

A.
The Loopback address.

B.
The IP address of DNS server.

C.
The IP address of gateway.

D.
The 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.
