Briefly describe the difference between recursive and iterative DNS query?
Answer:
DNS queries are often classified according the way during which
an entire request is processed. Generally queries are often
classified as follows.
1-recursive query
2-iterative query
3-Inverse queries
Recursive Query
A recursive query may be a quite query, during which the DNS
server, who received your query will do all the work of fetching
the solution , and giving it back to you. During this process, the
DNS server may additionally query other DNS server's within the
internet on your behalf, for the solution .
Iterative Query:
In Iterative DNS Query, when a DNS Client asks the DNS server for
name resolution, the DNS Server provides the simplest answer it's .
If the DNS Server doesn't know the solution to the DNS Query from
Client, the solution are often a regard to another lower level DNS
Server also. This lower level DNS Server is delegated at the upper
level DNS Server to be Authoritative for the DNS namespace which
the DNS Query is said with.
