Stealth option in NIOS DNS (Data Management > DNS > Zone > Name Servers):
A: ''Stealth'' hides the server from NS records in the zone file, making it authoritative but unlisted---useful for internal servers. Correct.
B: Zone transfers are controlled by ACLs, not Stealth. Incorrect.
C: Caching is unrelated---Stealth affects visibility, not function. Incorrect.
D: Response behavior isn't altered---still answers queries. Incorrect.
Practical Example: In an INE lab, set a stealth NS, verify NS record absence, and troubleshoot external visibility.

Surprised to hear that! I always thought it was about responding to outside queries.

It's definitely about preventing NS records from being added.

I thought the Stealth option had to do with caching responses, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I’m leaning towards option D, where it prevents the name server from responding to outside queries. I think that was mentioned in a lecture.

I remember studying that the Stealth option might stop NS records from being added automatically. It’s a bit fuzzy, though.

I think the Stealth option is related to preventing automatic zone transfers, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like I've seen something similar in practice questions.

I've got a good feeling about B. Preventing automatic zone transfers seems like the most logical explanation for the Stealth option.

I'm not totally sure about this one. The options all sound plausible, but I'll have to eliminate the ones that don't seem to fit the description of "Stealth".

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I think the Stealth option is about preventing zone transfers, so I'll go with B.

The Stealth option sounds like it has to do with security or privacy for the name server. I'm leaning towards B or D.

I bet the Stealth option would be great for a name server that's trying to avoid the paparazzi. Option D, you're the real MVP.

Ah, the Stealth option, the secret superpower of name servers. Gotta choose option D to keep those queries at bay.

I believe the Stealth option only hides the NS records, not necessarily block outside queries.

Oh, I see. The Stealth option is for when the name server just wants to stay under the radar, not answering any pesky queries. Option D is the one!

Hmm, I thought the Stealth option was like a ninja mode for the name server. Guess I was wrong, option D is the way to go.

I agree with Sharmaine, that makes sense because it would hide the name server's identity.
