Plan for Domain Name System

Domain Name System (DNS) offers a variety of solutions. Before you configure DNS, it is important to plan how it works within your network. Subjects, such as network structure, performance, and security, should be assessed before you implement DNS.

• Determine Domain Name System authorities
  There are special authorization requirements for the Domain Name System (DNS) administrator. You should also consider security implications of authorization.
• Determine domain structure
  If you are setting up a domain for the first time, you should plan for demand and maintenance before creating zones.
• Plan security measures
  Domain Name System (DNS) provides security options to limit outside access to your server.
