CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 87

A network administrator needs to change where the outside DNS records are hosted. Which of the following records should the administrator change at the registrar to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. NS
• B. SOA
• C. PTR
• D. CNAME

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, NS (Name Server) records, as these specify which DNS servers are authoritative for the domain. Changing the NS records at the registrar will direct queries to the new DNS hosting provider. The other options, such as SOA, PTR, and CNAME records, serve different purposes and do not affect where the DNS records are hosted.
