DNS is a system that allows computers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. In most cases, DNS is used to translate human-readable domain names (like www.

google.com) into IP addresses.

There are two types of DNS servers: authoritative and recursive. An authoritative DNS server is the only source of information about a domain name. All other DNS servers on the network use the information from the authoritative DNS server to resolve domain names.

A recursive DNS server is a secondary source of information about a domain name. When a client requests a domain name, the recursive DNS server will query the authoritative DNS server for the appropriate IP address.

To find all DNS servers on a domain, use the following command:

dnscmd / query / all / domain

The /query/all/domain parameter instructs dnscmd to query all DNS servers on the network for the appropriate information about the domain name.
