If the nameservers for a domain (e.g. ns1.example.com
) are members of that same domain (example.com
) DNS would normally be unable to resolve the domain (ns1.example.com
must be known to resolve example.com
, example.com
must be known to resolve ns1.example.com
). This circular dependency is broken up by so-called glue records in the parent zone (com
for example.com
), which are typically created by domain registrars.
