The Internet domain name system (DNS) is a distributed system. It allows computer programs to issue queries about domain names which the DNS returns one or more answers to. The most common use for DNS is to convert hostnames, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses, which identify a particular computer at a particular Internet location. In the most traditional usage, a querys answers are static. Someone types the answers into a configuration file, and the answers change only when the file changes.
