One example of recursive DNS is when someone who subscribes to an ISP (e.g. Comcast) configures their computer to use the UC Davis DNS servers rather than their ISP DNS servers to access the Internet.

A. Recursive DNS refers to the portion of the overall DNS system that, when asked for the IP address of a specific domain name, will get the answer. Sometimes, these recursive servers will have the answer cached in memory and respond immediately. Other times, the recursive server will have to start querying authoritative servers to get the answer.
