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.
-
Public Recursive DNS
App Hijacking Prevention
HTTP-based DNS resolution bypasses local DNS servers and prevents cache pollution issues.
Multiple Access Methods
Supports access of apps and IoT devices through APIs and SDKs for Android and iOS.
DNS Sync&Update
Enables recursive DNS to work with authoritative DNS to update resolution results in seconds.
-
Global Traffic Manager
Health Check

Typical Scenarios
Alibaba Cloud DNS covers full-process scenarios for users. It optimizes the entire DNS resolution process starting with the domain name access initiated by clients. Alibaba Cloud DNS provides policies such as cache prefetching and intelligent DNS resolution to improve website access experience and ensure the security and reliability of the full DNS process.
Benefits
-
DNS Hijacking Prevention
Prevents the risks of local DNS cache pollution and DNS information leakage.
-
Fast resolution based on the cooperation of authoritative DNS and recursive DNS
DNS information is prefetched from clients and then pushed by Alibaba Cloud DNS, and authoritative DNS works with recursive DNS to reduce dependencies on third-party systems.
-
Backup for disaster recovery to improve business security
Supports various scheduling policies such as access based on geographical locations and access based on latency. Address pools are backed up to each other in advance to ensure business stability and continuity. The health check feature is provided to discover faults and perform failover quickly.
-
Guarantee of business stability and reliability
The DDoS mitigation system developed by Alibaba Cloud supports over 10 Tbit/s network bandwidth and multiple large-scale traffic scrubbing centers around the globe, which can easily deal with an ultra-large volume of DDoS attacks.
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.
Fast, Stable, and Secure Terminal Access
Provides a fast, stable, and secure DNS resolution service for various terminals, such as mobile terminals, apps, and IoT devices in DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) mode.
Benefits
-
Accelerated Terminal Access
Allows terminals to access the nearest nodes. Recursive DNS resolution is not required for access to about 50% of the domain names in China. Access to these domain names can be directly routed to the requested nodes.
-
Stable DNS Resolution for Terminals
Deploys hundreds of servers worldwide to provide sufficient bandwidths. This achieves stable access to nodes.
-
Efficient Anti-hijacking for Secure Access
Bypasses local DNS servers of Internet service providers (ISPs) to prevent domain hijacking and protect user privacy.
