domain name system
     
         dns a general-purpose distributed, replicated,
        data query service chiefly used on internet for translating
        hostnames into internet addresses.  also, the style of
        hostname used on the internet, though such a name is
        properly called a fully qualified domain name.  dns can be
        configured to use a sequence of name servers, based on the
        domains in the name being looked for, until a match is found.
     
        the name resolution client e.g. unix's gethostbyname
        library function can be configured to search for host
        information in the following order: first in the local
        /etc/hosts file, second in nis and third in dns.  this
        sequencing of naming services is sometimes called "name
        service switching".  under solaris is configured in the file
        /etc/nsswitch.conf.
     
        dns can be queried interactively using the command nslookup.
        it is defined in std 13, rfc 1034, rfc 1035, rfc 1591.
     
        bind is a common dns server.
