DNS:
The Domain Name Server translates human readable machine name to IP address. Every
machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server generally has a static IP address.
To connect to a server, the client needs to know the IP of the server. However, user
generally uses the name to connect to the server. Thus, the switch DNS client program
(such as a browser) will ask the DNS to resolve the IP address of the named server.
