[All CV0-003 Questions]

A cloud administrator who is troubleshooting DNS issues discovers zone transfers are not occurring between the primary and secondary name servers due to an error in the serial numbers. Which of the following records should the administrator query for the serial number?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

SOA stands for Start of Authority, and it is a type of DNS record that contains information about a DNS zone, such as the name of the primary name server, the email address of the zone administrator, the serial number of the zone, and other parameters. The serial number is used to indicate when a zone has been updated, and it is incremented by the primary name server whenever a change is made to the zone dat

a. The secondary name servers use the serial number to determine if they need to request a zone transfer from the primary name server to synchronize their data.

I bet the person who wrote this question is the same one who put the serial number in the SRV record. Gotta keep us on our toes, eh?

This question is a piece of cake. If you can't find the serial number in the SOA record, you might as well pack up your bags and become a barista.

I'm not sure, but I think querying the PTR record might also provide the serial number.

I once tried to troubleshoot a DNS issue by querying the TXT records. Needless to say, that didn't go well. Go with the SOA record, it's the way to go!

I agree with Novella, the SOA record contains the serial number for zone transfers.

C'mon, you can't be a cloud administrator and not know that the SOA record holds the serial number. That's like DNS 101!
