DNS Server:
A DNS Server is a computer used to translate Host name to IP
address and vice versa.Eith on LAN or WAN.

DNS Zone:
A DNS zone is a subset, often a single domain, of the
hierarchical domain name structure of the DNS. The zone file contains
mappings between domain names and IP addresses and other resources,
organized in the form of text representations of resource records (RR).

ARecord:
An A record maps a host/host FQDN to an IP Address.And its used on
LAN/WAN to connect with the host.

Revers Lookup:
A reverse lookup ,as its name suggests , resolves host name in return of an ip
adress.

What is a reverse DNS?

Reverse DNS (rDNS) is a method of resolving an IP address into a domain

name, just as the domain name system (DNS) resolves domain names/host
names into associated IP addresses. One of the applications of reverse DNS is
as a spam filter.(spam means junk emails)

DORA:

DHCP is Dynamic Host Corporation Protocol. It work data link layers

broadcast, In respond offer to client request and help in sending messages or
receives it assign IP addresses by DHCP server which is know as DORA
(Discovery Offer Request and Acknowledgement.

DHCP Port Numbers:

The DHCP employs a connectionless service model, using the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP). It is implemented with two UDP port numbers for its
operations which are the same as for the BOOTP protocol. UDP port number
67 is the destination port of a server, and UDP port number 68 is used by the
client.
