====== Networking - DNS - Glue Records ======

Glue records are **A** records that are associated with **NS** records to provide "bootstrapping" information to the NS records nameserver.

See [[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html|RFC 1912 section 2.3]].

<code bash>
domain.com.     IN    NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com.     IN    NS ns2.domain.com.

ns1    IN    A     11.33.55.77
ns2    IN    A     22.44.66.88
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  In the above example we are mapping each NS records to IP address (A record) thus binding nameservers to IP (that is glue them).
