Domain Name System (DNS)
DNS offers a static, hierarchical name service for TCP/IP hosts. The network
administrator configures the DNS with a list of hostnames and IP addresses,
allowing users of workstations configured to query the DNS to specify remote
systems by hostnames rather than IP addresses.
