How are DNS queries sent to all DNS servers simultaneously?
Now DNS queries are sent to all DNS servers simultaneously. The first to respond is taken as the “winner”. In your case, Google might respond a millisecond faster and that’s all it takes. Google won’t know about your internal domain name so that “no such hostname” failure is cached for a while.
How is data captured in a DNS response?
The amount of data captured depends on the domains that are included in or excluded from the capture. A DNS response is based on a query generated for a domain. In the response message, NIOS captures the TTL value of a resource record, the resource record type, and resource data.
