What are a Forward and Reverse Lookup?

A DNS forwarder is a DNS server that is used to forward DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside that network.Usually, all DNS servers that handle address resolution within the network are configured to forward requests for addresses that are outside the network to a dedicated forwarder.

  • Forward Lookup:

    When a name query is send to the DNS server against to IP address, it is generally said a forward lookup.
  • Reverse Lookup:

    DNS also provides a reverse lookup process, enabling clients to use a known IP address during a name query and look up a computer name based on its address.
