Re: DNS entries?

Shawn:

Here is a copy and paste from WhatIs.

This quote comes from the following page for DNS

>>>Quote:

The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are
located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a
meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address.
Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences
would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are
distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority. There is
probably a DNS server within close geographic proximity to your access
provider that maps the domain names in your Internet requests or forwards
them to other servers in the Internet.

They also include some links for further reading. Basically, your ISP,
(host), is telling you they will set up your domain name on such a server.
Sort of plugging you into the Internet. (OK--I realize this is a gross over
simplification)

BTW--I have always found this source, (WhatIs), to have the answer to just
about any "term" we might run into.
