DNS Record
A specific DNS entry that controls how a name resolves
Core Idea
A DNS record is the individual rule in DNS that tells a domain name how to resolve to an IP address or another name. Different record types such as A, AAAA, and CNAME affect both service exposure and certificate validation.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses DNS records for public domains, internal host mappings, and reverse-proxy entry points. They are the most concrete configuration unit that connects a name to a real service target.
