What is DNS?DNS, Domain Name System, is a distributed database for storing information about hosts connected to the Internet. DNS is involved in almost all Internet interactions, including email and web browsing. The most common use for DNS is converting an alphanumeric domain name into a numeric string which can be interpreted by computers, but DNS serves other important functions as well, such as identifying the mail servers for a domain.
- example.com IN A 192.168.50.94
The record above indicates that 192.168.50.94 is the IP address associated with the example.com domain.
- example.com IN MX 10 192.168.50.95
The record above indicates that 192.168.50.95 is the IP address for the example.com mail server.
