AuthoritativeNameServerData Class

        [C#]
        public class AuthoritativeNameServerData : Object
      

The Authoritative Name Server is the name server that is the primary or secondary name server responsible for the domain name. This can be found in the WHOIS registry records when the domain is registered. The local DNS server will call the intermediate DNS server and possibly the ROOT dns server to locate the record information.

For example:
The name server for cs.umass.edu is dns.cs.umass.edu.
