a) The listed name servers are:
Name Server: A24-64.AKAM.NET
Name Server: A28-65.AKAM.NET
Name Server: A4-66.AKAM.NET
Name Server: A5-67.AKAM.NET
Name Server: A7-64.AKAM.NET
Name Server: A1-135.AKAM.NET
The domain is having multiple name servers as using multiple servers depend on needs and
requirement. The main purpose of having more than 1 name server for a domain is redundancy.
Multiple name servers are for handling the children and the subdomains by some other set of
name servers.
b. DNSSEC: The DNSSEC stands for Domain Name System Security Extensions that is a suite
of IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) specifications for giving security of several types of
information that are provided by the DNS (Domain name system as utilized in the internet
protocol networks.
In the Domain Name System Security Extensions, the unsigned high level domains or the
registrars are not having support of DNSSEC delegations which means the admins of the lower
level domains might utilize the DLV for allowing the data of their DNS for being validated by
the resolvers that had been configured for utilizing DLV.
