怎样用DNS解析域名（国外英文资料） How to resolve domain names with DNS Parse the host name to the IP address The system in the IP network must rely on the Internet address. Users and applications can be hostname to find a host, which requires before packets, IP protocol layer must be become an IP address to translate the host name (for example 9). The switch between the host name and the IP address is implemented by a gethostbyname () library function before the network connection is established. The library function is also called a parser because it is used to parse the host name to an IP address. Likewise, reverse parsing is sometimes necessary; Because sometimes, the IP address must be parsed into a host name, such as the host wants to verify which hosts connected to the machine must be in through connecting IP address mapping as a name, this process is usually used for authentication, for example, the file/etc/hosts. Equiv, $HOME /. Rhosts, or/etc/exports is the use of specific examples. The IP address parsing becomes the host name that is implemented by calling a library function named gethostbyaddr (). Maintain a small network of each host in the network system are contained in the name and IP address of the/etc/hosts file is an easy thing, and when the network has become a large and geographically distributed more widely, maintenance work can be very difficult. This is when you need to implement other methods to resolve the parsing between domain names and IP addresses. And every machine to store and maintain all the host name and IP address information in a different way, a service called a domain name server, the domain name server can by one (or more) of network system, its function is to store and provide information, domain name system provides another different from/etc/hosts file of the host name and IP address translation, DNS are commonly used in the large network host name resolution service. The most commonly used Name Services are Network Information Services (
