If I write an article called "Understanding how websites work" where I just regurgitate the definition of an A record can I be on the frontpage of HN too?

- nodata 15y agoYes. Part 2 could cover CNAMEs.
- bradleyland 15y agoIf you receive a sufficient number of up-votes, yes. I would recommend using simple language, and avoid digressing too deeply in to networking concepts. Keep in mind that HN is full of hackers, but it's also full of product people, sales people, and new-comers. This is a good high-level write up for people who might know a little about how DNS works because they've configured a domain, but don't know a lot of detail about the different record types. I can see how a lot of people would find it interesting.
