4.2.2.1 DNS
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web
addresses. If users type a Web address into the browser, such as www.router.com, a
DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs
provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. If the Service Provider connects the
user to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address
is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that the user would rather
use, it is necessary to specify the IP address of that DNS server in this section.
