Summary:Comparing with the top-level domains(TLD) such as the root servers,the local authoritative servers were more vulnerable to device failures and malicious attacks.It was described the existence of authoritative servers and presented a novel domain measurement tool named DNSAuth to collect the information of local authoritative servers automatically.Experiments to the real-life authoritative servers were conducted which highlighting three important aspects: the distribution,the geographic location and their impacts on performance and security.According to five representative attributes,the authoritative servers of China Top100 websites were evaluated and the result shows that only 32% of all the servers act better in performance and security.
