The domain name system can be used by contacting the name servers one at a time, or by asking the domain
name system to do the complete name translation. The client makes a query containing the name, the type of
answer required, and a code specifying whether the domain name system should do the entire name translation, or
simply return the address of the next DNS server if the server receiving the query cannot resolve the name.
When a DNS server receives a query, it checks to see if the name is in its sub domain. If it is, the server translates
the name and appends the answer to the query, and sends it back to the client. If the DNS server cannot translate
the name, it determines what type of name resolution the client requested. A complete translation is called
recursive resolution and requires the server to contact other DNS servers until the name is resolved. Iterative
resolution specifies that if the DNS server cannot supply an answer, it returns the address of the next DNS server
the client should contact.
Each client must be able to contact at least one DNS server, and each DNS server must be able to contact at least
one root server.
The address of the machine that supplies domain name service is often supplied by a DHCP or BOOTP server, or
can be entered manually and configured into the operating system at startup.
