Domain Name System
DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or
s that are
easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each

connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the browser
obtains the corresponding IP address from the DNS server so that it can establish the
connection.
On the Internet, the assignment of domain names to IP addresses follows a hierarchical
system. A local PC only knows the address of the local name server. This in turn knows
all the addresses of the computers in the local network and the next higher name server,
which again knows addresses in its network and that of the next name server.
