Abstract

A method, device, and terminal for storing domain name system (DNS) records are provided. The method includes: locally storing received DNS records needed to be stored; and if the size of all the stored DNS records does not satisfy a preset storing threshold, deleting a part of the stored DNS records to make the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion satisfy the storing threshold. A domain name parsing method, device, and server are provided. The method includes: receiving a DNS query request, where the DNS query request carries a domain name needed to be parsed and at least one of a service identity (ID) and user information; selecting a network address corresponding to the domain name according to the service ID and/or the user information; and if the corresponding network address is selected, returning the selected network address as a query result of the DNS query request.

7. The method for storing DNS records according to claim 6, wherein the deleting a part of the DNS records once again comprises at least one of these processes:

deleting a part of the DNS records closest to expiration;

selecting and deleting a part of the DNS records from all the DNS records about multiple IP addresses corresponding to one domain name;

deleting the DNS records in sequence following a storing order; and

deleting a part of the DNS records of low use rate.

8. The method for storing DNS records according to claim 1, wherein the deleting a part of the stored DNS records to enable the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion to satisfy the storing threshold comprises:

if expired DNS records do not exist, deleting a part of the DNS records to enable the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion to satisfy the storing threshold.

9. The method for storing DNS records according to claim 1, wherein before the locally storing the received DNS records needed to be stored, the method further comprises:

sending a DNS query request to a DNS server, wherein the DNS query request carries at least one of a service identity (ID) and user information; and

receiving at least one DNS record returned by the DNS server according to the DNS query request.

10. A device for storing domain name system (DNS) records, comprising:

a storage unit, adapted to store received DNS records needed to be stored;

a DNS record size detection unit, adapted to detect whether the size of all the DNS records stored in the storage unit satisfies a preset storing threshold; and

a DNS record cleanup unit, adapted to delete a part of the DNS records stored in the storage unit if the size of all the stored DNS records does not satisfy the storing threshold, so as to enable the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion to satisfy the storing threshold.

11. The device according to claim 10, wherein:

the DNS record size detection unit is specifically adapted to compare the size of all the DNS records stored in the storage unit with the preset storing threshold; and

the DNS record cleanup unit is specifically adapted to delete a part of the DNS records stored in the storage unit when the size of all the stored DNS records is greater than the storing threshold, so that the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion is not greater than the storing threshold.

12. The device according to claim 10, wherein:

the DNS record size detection unit is specifically adapted to compare the size of all the DNS records stored in the storage unit with the preset storing threshold; and

the DNS record cleanup unit is specifically adapted to delete a part of the DNS records stored in the storage unit when the size of all the stored DNS records is not smaller than the storing threshold, so that the size of the remaining DNS records after deletion is smaller than the storing threshold.

13. The device according to claim 10, wherein the device for storing domain name system (DNS) records is a terminal.
