Yeah, I agree with DNS. It’s definitely the one that matches names to IP addresses. I remember practicing similar questions in our last review session.

I’m a bit confused. Could a load balancer also be involved in some way? I just can’t recall the specifics.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I’m pretty sure DNS was the right choice. Firewalls and proxies don’t do that.

I think the answer might be DNS, but I’m not completely sure. I remember it has something to do with resolving names to IPs.

I'm a little confused by all the acronyms, but I'll give it my best shot and eliminate the options that don't seem relevant.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the options. I'll need to carefully read through each one to determine which is true.

Nah, Maile, this is about matching a name to an IP address, not load balancing. DNS is the clear answer here.

Wait, what kind of IP address are we talking about? If it's a web server, then it's gotta be a proxy or load balancer, right?

Firewalls, proxies, and load balancers all play important roles in network security, but DNS is specifically responsible for matching names to IP addresses.
