;Glue Record
* A glue record is a term for a record that's served by a DNS server that's not authoritative for the zone, to avoid a condition of impossible dependencies for a DNS zone.
* What glue records do is to allow the TLD's servers to send extra information in their response to the query for the example.com zone - to send the IP address that's configured for the name servers.
* It's not authoritative, but it's a pointer to the authoritative servers, allowing for the loop to be resolved.
