Great breakdown, this is exactly the kind of stuff that's easy to read about but hard to actually visualize. for anyone wanting to poke at this hands on, running a DNS lookup on a domain you know (like google.com) and comparing the A record, MX record, and TTL values against what the article describes really helps it click. Same with IP addresses, looking up a random public IP and seeing what info is tied to it (ISP, rough location, whether it's flagged as a VPN/proxy) makes the addressing section feel a lot more concrete than just reading the theory. Apifreaks.com has free dns lookup and IP lookup tools if anyone wants to try this out; they've also got a bunch of other networking/domain-related APIs bundled in if you end up needing more than the basics.
This newsletter keeps getting better btw, the illustrations make these topics so much easier to follow
