What's the use of DNS? DNS is a very important and commonly used system in a network of TCP/IP architectures, such as the Internet. The main function is to easily remember the domain name and people do not easily remember IP address for conversion. This network host, which performs the DNS service above, can be called DNS Server. Basically, we generally assume that DNS simply converts domain name to IP address, and then uses the IP address found to connect (commonly known as "forward resolution"). In fact, the ability to convert IP address to domain name is quite often used, and when you login to a UNIX workstation, the workstation will do a reverse check to find out where you came from (commonly known as "reverse parsing").
