Practice question 178 of 506 · easy

Only queries for partner.contoso.com must go to a partner's DNS servers; all other names should keep the current resolution path. Which configuration fits?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.A client hosts-file entry for every possible partner name
  2. B.A general forwarder that sends all recursive names to the partner
  3. C.A new empty authoritative primary for partner.contoso.com
  4. D.A conditional forwarder for partner.contoso.com
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • A conditional forwarder for partner.contoso.com

A conditional forwarder chooses targets by suffix while preserving other paths. A general forwarder changes broader recursive behavior. An empty primary makes this server authoritative and may return terminal negatives. Hosts-file entries do not provide maintainable suffix-based DNS forwarding.
