4.2 DNS Lookup
DNS is short for Domain Name System (or Service, or Server). It
is an Internet service that translates domain name into IP addresses.
Because domain names are alphabetic, they Ņre easier to remember. The
Internet, however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a
domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the
corresponding IP address. You may enter a domain name or IP address
on this page, DNS Lookup function can enquire for the corresponding IP
address or domain name. For example, the domain name www.planex.net
might translate to 202.210.129.35.
