Description: Zone records are the entries contained within a DNS zone file that define DNS information for a domain. These entries are fundamental to the functioning of the Domain Name System (DNS), as they allow the translation of human-readable domain names into IP addresses that computers can understand. Each zone entry can contain different types of records, such as A records (which associate a domain name with an IPv4 address), AAAA records (for IPv6 addresses), CNAME records (which allow aliasing one domain to another), and MX records (which specify mail servers for the domain). Proper configuration of these entries is crucial to ensure that users can access online resources efficiently and without interruptions. Additionally, zone entries are managed by authoritative DNS servers, which are responsible for providing answers to DNS queries for the domains they manage. The structure and format of these entries are standardized, allowing for interoperability between different systems and DNS service providers.
