What is the proper meaning of the "IN" word in DNS records? DNS records are an important part of DNS zones. So I want to know that there is an "IN" word included in every record. what is the meaning?
It would help clarify what such a piece of information in DNS is?
Thank you for making all the efforts.
A simple INternet search would have brought you to Wikipedia, where the following is stated on DNS Record Classes:
The CLASS of a record is set to IN (for Internet) for common DNS
records involving Internet hostnames, servers, or IP addresses. In
addition, the classes Chaos (CH) and Hesiod (HS) exist.[34] Each class
is an independent name space with potentially different delegations of
DNS zones.

From our Azure environment we are calling an external webservice which does IP filtering. We are currently running on two instances of our website and the outgoing IP addresses for those sites have been added to the FW on the external webservice.
If we need to scale out, by adding say 2 more instances, will/is there a risk the new instances get a new outgoing IP?
The website in itself has a fixed public IP (to allow for DNS), but we see that one of the instances gives a different IP, so if we setup autoscaling will we loose complete control (not that we have any) of that?
Please refer to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/fd53afb7-14b8-41ca-bfcb-305bdeea413e/maintenance-notice-upcoming-changes-to-increase-capacity-for-outbound-network-calls?forum=windowsazurewebsitespreview for the list of IP addresses that can be used for outgoing connections from Azure websites.

I have on website but this site has no meaning full domain name but have good ranking on internet. I want to make this like this website will be pointed by two different domain names.
please suggest me that how can i do this. please give me easy steps for doing this.
Thanks
Under each of your domains you should have DNS settings so go there and put the same DNS for each domain or you can set DNS for the first on and redirection for the second one.
You can just setup DNS records for both domains to point to the IP of your server.
If you have virtual hosts configured on your server, you may need to create an entry for both domain names.

three month ago I have site registered at co.cc. I want to know how they create domain name like ".cc" not ".com". I never seen site like this and .cc is not standard domain. So my question is how they create their own domain name? can I create my own domain like www.abc.jagdish insteda of www.abc.com?
I want to know how they create domain name like ".cc"
That is a (completely standard) country code top level domain, specifically the one for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They got the domain by being the official registrar for that country or by buying it from them.
To create your own CCTLD you would first have to found a country. That seems like an excessive expense for the purposes of having a custom TLD.
You can't create your own domain. Wait it is possible to register your own extension but it will cost roughly $300k
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible
organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.

http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/

You could apply for your own gTLD, it will cost you though. A couple of hundred thousand USD at least.

Sometimes when I look up the WHOIS information for some domains, I see that their nameservers are forwarded to a service like ZoneEdit or Domain Control. I've never understood what the purpose is for doing this but I have a feeling it has to do with hiding the nameserver so someone who does a WHOIS on the domain can't figure out which service the site is hosted under.
Can someone please explain this to me?
There is all sorts of reasons someone may use a service like this:
Their webhost doesn't provide DNS. Especially true for people running their own VPS (you'd need 2, for backup DNS).
Their webhost provides DNS, but it is bad; it is slow, it drops out, whatever it may be.
They use multiple webhosts and want to keep all the DNS in one place.
I'm sure there's many more, but these are the obvious ones.
On a related note, for many web hosts you can look up the owner of the IP range that the web server is in if you want to know what company is ultimately hosting a website. This will turn up some info, though the company that owns the IP may not be the person that is being paid directly by a site owner for hosting on that IP.

Like bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, j.mp, migre.me etc. use their own domain extension .ly, .gl, .gd, .mp, .me etc. How can I create my own personalize domain extension like .gbsif? Please help.
You can't. Only IANA can.
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.

Here's a list of available TLDs:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
You can run your own nameserver and add a new tld there. But this won't help you much, as the TLD will only be visible to the users who are using your own nameserver.
The "official" TLD like ".ly" are countries, see: official list
The ICANN website does have a Contact page, and one subject category is "New gTLDs", so they probably get requests like this a lot. I don't know if they'd actually create an extension just for you, but if they get a lot of the same requests, I'm sure they'd do something about it.
