While studying the Wireshark Network Analyst book in the DNS chapter I loaded
the file "fns-errors-partial.pcapng" and introduced the display filter
dns.qry.name == "www.nmap.org".
If we check one by one the DNS queries and answers we can see that all DNS
queries refer to the packet 7 as the one containing the DNS answer. When we
check packet 5 (the first DNS answer) it points us to packet 4 as the one that
triggered this answer. Going back to 4, we say that 4 didn't change it's mind
;-) and still points us to 7.
Packets 6 and 8 they do not provide any reference as to which queries triggered
them.
Maybe I'm lacking knowledge in how to understand the DNS protocol (that is why
I'm reading the book also).
cheers,
Ioannis
