Description

Determines whether the Domain Name System (DNS) permits unqualified queries.

An unqualified query does not include the domain name. Any matching host name satisfies it. The query format is the host name followed by a period: hostname .

If unqualified queries are not permitted and a query is submitted without a domain name, the DNS service automatically appends the name of the local domain.

The following table shows the meaning of each value and the result of submitting an unqualified query, host1., from the reskit.com domain:
