Even if the use of DNS has been planned carefully and all the security-relevant aspects have been taken into consideration, this will not be sufficient if semantically and syntactically incorrect domain information is created. This includes the incorrect assignment of IP addresses to host names, missing data, the use of forbidden characters, and inconsistent forward and reverse resolution. If the domain information contains errors, the services that use this information will only be able function to a limited extent.
