You have recently set up a new domain controller and DNS server responsible for a large network.Almost immediately,you notice that every time a user attempts to make use of a resource on a server in your partner organization's domain,Example.net,DNS requests end up performing a recursive query.Rather than continue to allow DNS requests to be processed this way,you would like to make use of a DNS server in Example.net's domain that you have access to via a LAN connection.
What can you configure to have the DNS server in Example.net's domain receive DNS queries from your network,but only ones that are related to Example.net's domain?
A)A forwarder
B)Caching-only DNS server
C)Conditional Forwarder
D)Can't be done

A conditional forwarder can be configured to forward DNS queries for a specific namespace (in this case, Example.net's domain) to a specific DNS server (the one located in Example.net's domain). This would ensure that only queries related to Example.net's domain are forwarded to the specific DNS server and not all recursive queries. A forwarder would send all DNS queries to a specified DNS server, which may not be what is desired in this situation. A caching-only DNS server would only store previously resolved DNS queries in its cache and would not be able to forward queries to the specific DNS server in Example.net's domain. Therefore, the best choice is to configure a conditional forwarder.
