Installing the DNS domain name resolution server under Windows Server 2003

DNS (domain Name System), the Internet as the domain name andIP Addressone of the mutual mappingsDistributed databaseTo make it easier for users to accessInternet, instead of remembering the number of IP strings that can be read directly by the machine. ThroughHostname, the process of eventually getting the IP address for that hostname is called Domain name resolution (or hostname resolution). The DNS protocol runs onUdpprotocol, use the port number 53.

Each IP address can have a host name that consists of one or more strings separated by a decimal point. With the hostname, do not memorize each IP device IP address, just remember the relative intuitive meaningful host name on the line. This is the function that the DNS protocol will perform.

There are two ways to map host names to IP addresses:

1) static mapping, each device is configured host-to-IP address mapping, each device independently maintain their own mapping table, and only for the use of this device;

2) dynamic mapping, set up a set of domain Name resolution system (DNS), only in a dedicated DNS server to configure the host-to-IP address mapping, network needs to use host name communication device, first need to DNS server to query the host IP address.

The process of obtaining the IP address of the host name through the hostname is called Domain name resolution (or hostname resolution). In resolving the domain name, you can first use static domain name resolution method, if the static domain name resolution is not successful, then use dynamic Domain name resolution method. You can put some common domain names into the static Domain name resolution table, which can greatly improve the efficiency of domain name resolution.

Configure the method in the attachment you can download it yourself!
