<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">*Ahem* The Domain Name System or
DNS is a system that stores information about host names and domain
names on networks, such as the Internet. Most importantly, it provides
an IP address (which is a macing readable address, in binary form i.e.
1's and 0's) for each host name (i.e. eskimofriends), and lists the
mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">The DNS forms a vital part of the
Internet, because hardware requires IP addresses to perform routing,
but humans use host names and domain names, for example in URLs and
e-mail addresses.</span>[img]smileys/smiley23.gif[/img]


Why don't they just teach the hardware to talk like us... it'd be so much easier... imagine chatting to your toaster... you could tell it exactly how toasted you want your bread... and IT could tell YOU to chill out and just enjoy whatever it happens to throw at you... the fun of it all [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]
