Hi Fred,

Yes, it's possible.
But depends on how the DNS server is configured.
It's necessary that DNS server is allowing zone transfers.
To get the records, install another DNS server and initiate a zone transfer to the other DNS server.
It's a best pratice to allow zone transfers only to known servers.

Is it possible to point to a DNS server and somehow get ALL records from it
(ie - return all the domain records that server is authoratative for)?
If so, how? and how could one stop it from happening if so?

Regards,
Fred
