Domain Name System
Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP
addresses. Each time a domain name is assigned, the DNS service translates the
name into a numeric IP address. For example, www.ipexample.com is translated

corresponding IP addresses. The Domain Name System contains the following
windows:
• Defining DNS Servers
