Stealth Servers common DNS server setups
Stealth Servers common DNS server setups
Common DNS server setups (used when working with zones for registered domain names), Stealth Primary and Stealth Secondary. These are effectively the same as Primary and Secondary DNS servers, but with a slight organizational difference.
For example, you have 3 DNS servers; A, B and C.
A is the Primary, B and C are secondaries.
If you configure your registered domain to use A and B as your domain’s DNS servers, then C is a Stealth Secondary. It’s still a secondary, but it’s not going to be asked about the zone you are serving to the internet from A and B
If you configure your registered domain to use B and C as your domain’s DNS servers, then A is a stealth primary. Any additional records or edits to the zone are done on A, but computers on the internet will only ever ask B and C about the zone.
