2.2.7 DNS
A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into
your 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 your Service Provider connects you 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 you
would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here.
