DNS and types of Resource Records

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed database, arranged hierarchically, containing records for Domain Names. The DNS system's main aim is to match a Domain Name to an IP Address. In order to fulfill this role, the DNS server contains Resource Records (Records) in a zone file, which contains the Domain Name and IP Address mappings for computers contained within that zone. All resource records have a Time To Live TTL (TTL), specifying the number of seconds other DNS servers and applications are allowed to cache the Record.
