Description: A metadata record in the context of DNS (Domain Name System) is a type of record that provides additional information about other DNS records. This metadata can include details such as creation date, expiration date, contact information for the domain owner, and other relevant data that helps manage and organize the information of DNS records. Metadata records are essential for the efficient administration of domains, as they allow administrators and automated systems to better understand the structure and status of associated records. Furthermore, they facilitate troubleshooting and auditing of DNS configuration, ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date. In an environment where security and availability are critical, metadata records can also help identify unauthorized changes or inconsistencies in DNS configuration, contributing to the overall integrity of the system.
