-
DNS Security
DNS Query Attacks
Supports real-time attack detection and abnormal traffic handling, and processes up to hundreds of millions of DNS queries per second.
-
Secondary DNS
Disaster Recovery and Backup
Secondary DNS provides disaster recovery and backup for your DNS. If your DNS server fails, the secondary DNS server can continue to provide DNS services to ensure that your business system is still accessible.
Load Balancing
To achieve load balancing, you can use the secondary DNS server and your DNS server to provide DNS services at the same time. To protect your DNS server, you can use only the secondary DNS server to provide DNS services.
Secure and Effective Resolution
Secondary DNS provides efficient DNS services based on the global node distribution of Alibaba Cloud DNS, and protects your websites or applications against DDoS attacks.
-
DNS Monitoring
Wide Coverage of Nodes
Deploys more than 1,000 nodes in China. These nodes are distributed in the provinces and regions of major ISPs in China.
Real-time Monitoring and Alerting
Performs 24/7 monitoring to promptly identify exceptions and send alerts to O&M personnel.
DNS Hijacking Mitigation
Monitors the domain name hijacking status in real time to reduce the probability of DNS hijacking to a certain extent.
Rapid DNS Resolution
Reduces the recursive process of public DNS servers to accelerate DNS resolution.
-
DNS over IPv6
IPv6 Support
Supports IPv6-based AAAA records and provides DNS servers that support access from IPv6 addresses.
-
Batch DNS Resolution
Fast and Efficient Processing
Improves DNS resolution efficiency by processing batch tasks asynchronously in the background at high speed. Up to 10,000 DNS records can be processed within 10 minutes.
Comprehensive Features
Provides flexible batch DNS resolution. You can add, modify, and delete multiple DNS records at a time. It also allows you to manage domain names in groups, host domain names that are not registered at Alibaba Cloud, and delete multiple domain names at a time.
Capability Opening
Uses APIs that are dedicated for batch DNS resolution. These APIs are used for custom DNS resolution and provide you with reliable domain name resolution capabilities. For more information, see API Reference in Document Center.

Typical Scenarios
Multi-line Intelligent DNS Resolution
Uses health checks of applications and DNS routing technologies such as weighted round-robin and geolocation DNS (GEO DNS) to automatically block failures and implement failovers.
Benefits
-
Distributed Health Check
Monitors applications in different regions in real time to detect downtime and exceptions in a timely manner.
-
Multi-line Load Balancing
Uses load sharing and weighted round-robin algorithms to route access traffic to ideal service nodes based on your business requirements.
-
Automatic Blocking of Failure IP Addresses
Automatically blocks the IP addresses where faults occur to reduce the downtime caused by the faults.
Defense Against DNS Query Attacks
For users of live streaming, video, games and social networking, DNS security + high anti-IP can be purchased and used together, and protection measures have been added in both the parsing request and the website site, so that the website will be more secure.
Benefits
-
Anti-DDoS Protection
Prevents service interruptions caused by massive DNS resolution requests sent to victim DNS servers.
-
DNS Bounce-back denial-of-service attack with Broadband Exhaustion
Solve the problem that a large number of hosts forge the victim IP to send query request packets to a large number of open recursive DNS servers on the Internet, block the network of the victim DNS servers, and cause business interruption.
-
Hundreds of Millions of DNS Queries per Second
Resolves the issues of high business traffic and high QPS resolution requests in large-sized enterprises.
