What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name Service) is the addressing system used on the internet. It translates domain names like www.kreonet.net into numerical IP addresses using specialized servers, allowing data and information to reach their intended destinations. DNS is a fundamental component of internet-based communication and plays a critical role in national infrastructure, online business, banking, and many other essential services.
KREONET DNS Service Features
Master-Slave Server Architecture
KREONET DNS is structured with a master server and one or more slave servers. The slave servers act as backups to the master and help ensure service stability through load balancing. This architecture improves fault tolerance and enhances the overall reliability of the DNS service.
[Slave Server: ns.kisti.re.kr, Master Server: ns.kreonet.net]
Support for IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
DNS services primarily use IPv4 by default. However, due to the rapid growth of internet usage, concerns have been raised about the limitations of IPv4, and IPv6 is being actively discussed as a solution. While IPv6 support is still limited among many DNS providers, KREONET DNS supports IPv6, allowing users to access and utilize IPv6-enabled services through the KREONET infrastructure.
AKAMAI CDN Service via DNS
A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a system that temporarily caches web applications, streaming media, and other content on edge servers to deliver it to users quickly and securely. Through direct integration with Akamai CDN cache servers, KREONET DNS ensures fast and reliable delivery of web content and streaming media to end users.
