Provides constant values for record queries

[Visual Basic]
Public Enum DnsClient.RecordType

Remarks

The dnsRecordAddress record type is used to resolve a host name into an Internet address, and is the most common type of nameserver query that is performed. This is the type of query that is used when you set the HostName property and then read the HostAddress property to obtain its address.

The dnsRecordPTR record type is used to resolve an Internet address into a host name, and is also referred to as a reverse DNS lookup. This is the same type of query that is performed when you set the HostAddress property and then read the HostName property to determine the host name.
