Question

A DNS host has stopped responding to nslookup requests. You verify the machine is running, and a check of network traffic shows a very large amount of data being transferred from the machine to multiple hosts outside the company. You ping the machine and receive the following response. What might explain the server's situation?

Answer 1

The server is overcrowded. When there are multiple people using the same server it causes an overload of data sent at once which can cause lag or high ping. You can fix this in 2 ways. Either shut it down for a while or kick some people off the servers
