	Domain Name System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This file is now used primarily for troubleshooting DNS errors or mapping local addresses to more organic names (the Hosts file can also be used for ad blocking, or it can be used by spyware to hijack a computer).
		Since this can introduce a bootstrapping problem when the name of the nameserver is in the domain about which nothing is yet known, it is occasionally necessary for the nameserver providing the delegation to also provide the IP address of the next nameserver.
		And, any DNS changes on your domain other than the NS records and authoritative DNS server names can be nearly instantaneous, if you choose for them to be (by lowering the TTL once or twice ahead of time, and waiting until the old TTL expires before making the change).

	Windows 2000 Domain Naming System (DNS)
		DNS began in the early days of the Internet when the Internet was a small network established by the Department of Defense for research purposes.
		With DNS, the host names reside in a database that can be distributed among multiple servers, decreasing the load on any one server and providing the ability to administer this naming system on a per-partition basis.
		The internal DNS namespace may contain a private root, in which case all internal clients that are anticipated to require name resolution must support Name Exclusion List or Proxy Autoconfiguration File to distinguish whether to direct name resolution queries to the proxy server or internal DNS server.

	DNS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		DNS was originally based on HOSTS files that were maintained by a centralized Network Information Center.
		DNS uses zone files to keep name and IP address database information for the internet domain or hierarchial set of domains.
		DNS information is not replicated to domain controllers outside the domain.

	DNS related RFCs
		Mandates that DNS servers should accept, store and return unknown records of unknown type as is. Long overdue, but increases the complexity of implementating DNSSEC and dynamic updates.
		A nice generalisation of the DNS lookup algorithm, which can be viewed as a transformation of a domain name into the contents of the associated resource records via delegation rules stored in DNS servers.
		DNS isn't a good general directory service, but I don't see it being bad enough that alternatives have enough room to become established.

	DNS Resources Directory (DNSRD)
		DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses, and to control email delivery.
		If DNS fails or is too slow, web sites cannot be located and email delivery stalls.
		A selection of overview documents explains DNS from a high-level perspective, while the RFC documents are the official standards.

		The DNS tags all data with a class as well as the type, so that we can allow parallel use of different formats for data of type address.
		Administrative guidelines on use As a matter of policy, the DNS technical specifications do not mandate a particular tree structure or rules for selecting labels; its goal is to be as general as possible, so that it can be used to build arbitrary applications.
		Preferred name syntax The DNS specifications attempt to be as general as possible in the rules Mockapetris [Page 10] RFC 1034 Domain Concepts and Facilities November 1987 for constructing domain names.

	Domain Name System (DNS)
		DNS is the protocol through which names are mapped to IP addresses, and vice versa.
		DNS is coordinated across the Internet through a somewhat complex system of authoritative root name servers, and other smaller-scale name servers who host and cache individual domain information.
		With a local, caching DNS server, the query only has to be made once to the outside world by the caching DNS server.

		We are also responsible for oversight of DNS activities by other groups within the IETF to the extent that we review the impact such work will have on the DNS and make recomendations to the working groups and IESG as necessary.
		The global DNS namespace has grown to the point where administering the top levels of the tree is nearly as much work as the old NIC host table used to be.
		The global DNS database is exactly that, an existing world-wide database representing hosts on six continents and (at least) forty-five countries.

	InterNIC \| Domain Name System FAQs
		The DNS makes it easier by allowing a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead of the arcane IP address.
		When a DNS computer queries another computer and asks, "are you the intended recipient of this message?", "yes" and "no" are acceptable answers, but "maybe" is not.
		Some, however, overlap the authoritative global DNS root by incorporating the unique, authoritative root information, and then adding new pseudo-TLDs that have not resulted from the consensus-driven process by which official new TLDs are created through ICANN.

	Define domain name system - a Whatis.com definition - see also: DNS
		The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses.
		Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.
		There is probably a DNS server within close geographic proximity to your access provider that maps the domain names in your Internet requests or forwards them to other servers in the Internet.

		The DNS system is, in fact, its own network.
		If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
		The process of configuring DNS involves a few pieces: configuring your DNS server, registering your DNS name, and in some cases, configuring IIS to respond to the requests.
