Sure, here's a breakdown of your explanation about different DNS resource record types:
DNS Resource Record Types:
- DNS operates with defined resource record types that enable various types of DNS resolutions.
- While there are many resource record types, we'll focus on the most basic ones in this explanation.
A Record (Address Record):
- An A record points a domain name to an IPv4 address.
- Each domain can have multiple A records to enable DNS round robin, distributing traffic across IPs.
- DNS round robin involves cycling through the list of IPs (in order) to balance traffic.

the first computer get 10.1.1.1

because of cycling, the next computer will get 10.1.1.2
Quad A Record (AAAA Record):
- Similar to an A record, but returns an IPv6 address instead of IPv4.
- Used to handle IPv6 addressing.
CNAME Record (Canonical Name):
- Redirects traffic from one domain to another.
- Useful for ensuring redirection with only one source of truth.
- Often used to redirect a domain to its www version.
- In CNAME, microsoft.com will redirected into www.microsoft.com
- Microsoft can only change IP for www.microsoft.com (if they want)
MX Record (Mail Exchange):
- Used for (only) email delivery to correct mail servers.
