Table 5-1 Mapping table of domain name and IP address

A” represents IP address. Each domain name is assigned to a corresponding IP address. The table above

indicates that host2 is assigned to two IP addresses, so it lists out two entries corresponding to host2. Every

DNS inquiry might have one responding address or above and is sorted in address-sorting style or

round-robin style.
