CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
A server administrator is preparing to deploy a new version of a corporate web application. The production site, app.corpnet.local
, resolves to the IP address 10.10.1.50
via the company's internal DNS server. The new staging version of the application is hosted on a separate server with the IP address 10.20.1.100
. The administrator needs to test the staging version from their management workstation by accessing app.corpnet.local
in a browser. This name resolution change must only affect the administrator's workstation and be easily reversible. Which of the following is the most appropriate action for the administrator to take?
Update the A record for
app.corpnet.local
to10.20.1.100
on the authoritative DNS server.Change the primary DNS server address on the management workstation's network adapter to
10.20.1.100
.Add an entry for
app.corpnet.local
pointing to10.20.1.100
in the local hosts file on the management workstation.Create a CNAME record in DNS that points from
staging.corpnet.local
toapp.corpnet.local
.
