Overview

What Is a Record Set?

A record set translates a domain name into an IP address or other related information during DNS resolution. It defines the mapping between domain names and servers or other resources to ensure that users can find the corresponding network services when accessing domain names.

A private DNS record is used on the network of an enterprise or organization to resolve an internal domain name (for example, privatenet.example.com) to the IP address of an internal server or device. These records are stored on the internal DNS server to ensure that internal network users can quickly and securely access internal resources.
