Can one DNS have multiple IPS?

DNS can hold multiple records for the same domain name. DNS can return the list of IP addresses for the same domain name. When a web-browser requests a web-site, it will try these IP addresses one-by-one, until it gets a response.

Can a server have 2 IPS?

Yes you can have more than one IP address when using a single Network Card. Setting this up is different in each Operating System, but may involve creating a new Network Interface. This can look like a unique connection but will be using the same Network Card behind the scenes.

Can you have multiple A records for 1 IP?

Answers. From DNS point of view, there is nothing wrong with having multiple A records pointing to the same IP. This is often done to “hide” the actual server name, so that application can be moved to a different machine/instance without clients noticing the move. Reverse dns is another thing.

What happens when you have multiple DNS A records?

A DNS server with round-robin enabled will have multiple different A records, each with the same domain name but a different IP address. Each time the DNS server is queried, it sends the IP address to which it most recently responded with to the back of the queue, operating on a loop.

Why do I have 2 IP addresses?

What is an AAAA record in DNS?

An AAAA record is used to find the IP address of a computer connected to the internet from a name. The AAAA record is conceptually similar to the A record, but it allows you to specify the IPv6 address of the server, rather than the IPv4.

Can you have a CNAME and TXT record?

A CNAME record cannot co-exist with another record for the same name. It’s not possible to have both a CNAME and TXT record for www.example.com . A CNAME can point to another CNAME, although this configuration is generally not recommended for performance reasons.
