Recursive DNS server

Recursive DNS server definition 

A recursive DNS server helps find the IP address of a website. When you enter a website's name, it asks other servers until it finds the correct address, then sends it back to you so you can visit the site. These servers often cache results (temporarily store them) to speed up future lookups for the same site. Caching helps reduce the need for repeated requests to other servers, making the process faster and more efficient.

How a recursive DNS server works

  1. 1.You type a website address (like www.example.com) into your browser.
  2. 2.The recursive DNS server checks if it already knows the website's IP address (caching).
  3. 3.If it doesn't know the address, it asks other DNS servers to find it.
  4. 4.Once it gets the correct IP address, it sends it to your device.
  5. 5.Your device uses the IP address to access the website.

History of recursive DNS servers 

Recursive DNS servers have been around since the early internet days. As more websites launched, people needed a faster way to connect to them. At first, DNS was simple, but as the web grew, the need for faster lookups grew too. Recursive DNS servers were created to speed up this process, making browsing quicker and more reliable.
