After tax, that's a $28,000 adjustment.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know TIBCO has some specific best practices for versioning, but I can't remember the details. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm a little confused by this question. Restricting access to specific IP addresses seems important, but I'm not sure if that's the only thing we need to do. Maybe installing an IDS like Snort would also be a good idea to monitor for suspicious activity.

Ah, I've got it! The answer is NS (Name Server) record. That's the one that points to the authoritative name server for a domain.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between unicast and BUM traffic. I'll need to review that concept before answering.
