Configuring DNS



Conclusion

DNS management is a critical part of the maintenance of any Web site. Fortunately, although they can be a little complicated, DNS modifications are usually infrequent, because the IP address of a server is normally fixed or static. This is not always the case. There are situations in which a server's IP address will change unpredictably and frequently, making DNS management extremely difficult. Dynamic DNS was created as a solution to this and is explained in Chapter 19, "Dynamic DNS."
