Glossary

DNS	Domain Name System. An Internet service that translates domain names into IP
	addresses. Domain names are a clear way of representing an Internet address.
	The Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses. For example, the URL
	http //www.website.com might actually point to the IP address http
	//123.456.789.0. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address
	correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP
	addresses are distributed throughout servers on the Internet in the Domain Name
	System. If one DNS server cannot translate a particular domain name, it contacts
	another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
