What is the role of Domain Name System (DNS)? |
|
Answer» The MAIN role of the Domain Name System (DNS) is to TRANSLATE domain names into IP ADDRESSES. These IP addresses are the ones that computers can UNDERSTAND. It also gives a list of mail servers that accept Emails for each domain name. Every domain name in the DNS will nominate a set of name servers to be authoritative for its DNS records. For example, when a Web address (URL) is typed into a browser, a DNS query is made to learn an IP address of a Web server associated with that name. |
