You are hired as a consultant to ACME Widgets. ACME’s IT management wants to configure a separate server located in the ACME-Defense domain to host the primary forward lookup zone for ACME-Defense domain. The same server will also host a secondary forward lookup DNS zone for ACME-Navigation. Address the following questions:
- Do you agree with the ACME’s management plan to have a dedicated DNS server to host the primary forward lookup zone for ACME-Defense domain?
- What other primary forward lookup zone DNS hosting options for the ACME-Defense domain would you consider?
- For example, as an alternative, you can host the primary forward lookup ACME-Defense zone on the existing ACME-Navigation DNS server.
- What are the advantages or disadvantages of hosting the primary zone on either server? Explain and justify your answers.
- Is it necessary to host a reverse lookup zone for the ACME-Defense domain? If so, which DNS server would you select to host it? Explain and justify your answers.
