DNS Host vs DNS Group in Transparent Mode Skiplist

Good morning...

What is the difference between a DNS Host and a DNS Group as far as the transparent mode skiplist is concerned?

What is an example of the best use of each?

I have looked around but cannot figure it out. It might be too obvious?

Thanks in advance...

A DNS host maps the first name server A record to an IP. If the name server has multiple A records for an FQDN, the DNS Group definition will include all IPs listed in A records.

I hate to rehash an old thread, but wanted to ask this question... IF the DNS IP/group of IPs change, will the DNS Host/DNS Group update its list accordingly? RE: does it query those at intervals to keep them current, otherwise, its defeats the logical idea and just becomes a different method of just putting them in as Host entries..

Thanks,

Squirre1, walk through the System log file, paying special attention to the lines containing dns-resolver. Look up DNS in the Wikipedia to see how ttl (time to live) is used. [:)]
