COMMAND USAGE
◆ Servers or other network devices may support one or more connections
via multiple IP addresses. If more than one IP address is associated
with a host name via information returned from a name server, a DNS
client can try each address in succession, until it establishes a
connection with the target device.
PARAMETERS

unreliable.

the owner, and ALIAS which specifies an alias.

◆ TTL – The time to live reported by the name server.
◆ Domain – The domain name associated with this record.
