“A” represents IP address. Each domain name is assigned to a corresponding IP address. The table above
indicates that host2 is assigned to two IP addresses, so it lists out two entries corresponding to host2. Every
DNS inquiry might have one responding address or above and is sorted in address-sorting style or
round-robin style.
