DNS

These directory text files were maintained manually and made available

DNS Architecture
In reality, our local computer sends a DNS request to the DNS server.
The DNS server acts as a client on our behalf to get the IP address of
the desired host name.
The DNS query-response process takes place in two ways: Iterative and
Recursive.
In Recursive process, the DNS client sends a query to one server and
this server will collect information from other low-level servers and
send the response to DNS client.
