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
into 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain databases of domain names and their
corresponding IP addresses. The Domain Name System contains the following
pages:
•Defining DNS Servers
•Mapping DNS Hosts

Defining DNS Servers

The

DNS Servers Page

contains fields for enabling and activating specific DNS
servers.
