DNS Service Corey Adams, Bobby Bray, Tyler Guinard
Identify some use cases when a caching-only DNS server should be used and why this would be the best choice for the use case. A DNS server that solely caches data decreases outgoing DNS traffic and improves name resolution. It takes client queries, executes them against other name servers, caches the results, and sends them back to the client. Outgoing DNS traffic is reduced, and name resolution is accelerated. The DNS cache exists to speed up the DNS lookup process that converts a domain name to an IP address, so it's a good idea to use it. Caching-only DNS servers can improve security for your organization when used as forwarders that are under your administrative control. However, if DNS caching is not correctly handled, it can jeopardize webpage access and network security.
Identify some use cases for a DNS server to be configured as a forwarder and why this would be the best configuration for the use case. If you have only one DNS Server then you should configure it as a forwarder. You'll want to do this to protect yourself from redundancy even if you have multiple DNS Servers. Whenever a DNS server receives a query and resolves it using forwarders (as with Root Hints), it caches the results it sent back to the client. This decreases the Internet traffic over the network and improves the response time for DNS clients.
