Type of query issued by the DNS server to the name servers in its hierarchy, or to servers provided as pointers in reply to earlier such requests, until an answer is received, when one DNS server receives a recursive request.
iterative queries
Process where DNS servers cache name and address pairs for addresses they resolved, and keep information about name requests that result in error messages.
negative caching
