What is DNS namespace?
Rating:
DNS namespace is the hierarchical structure of the domain name tree. It is defined such that the names of all similar components must be similarly structured, but similarly identifiable. The full DNS name must point to a particular address. Consider the following image of DNS namespace of the Internet:
The salessrv1 and salessrv2 are host names of the hosts configured in the sales.ucertify.com domain. The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the host salessrv1 is salessrv1.sales.ucertify.com. No two hosts can have the same FQDN.
