DNS A Records
DNS A records ('address' records) are the most basic type of record. They identify an (IPv4) IP address with a
particular hostname.
E.g.
Here we can see dnsmonks.com resolves to 18.188.64.96.
% dig dnsmonks.com A +short
18.188.64.96
%
Typically a hostname will have a single IP address but it is also possible to associate several addresses with a
single hostname to provide redundancy or load balancing.
