We will review in class how the Domain Name Service works. You should also read in your own time the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System#Address_resolution_mechanism the DNS article on Wikipedia] for an overview of a DNS query - especially the Address resolution mechanism] section (including the '''Recursive''' and '''caching name server''' subsections) on '''Wikipedia for an overview of a DNS query'''. The diagram shown in the WIKI is also quite simple and easy to understand. Domain Name Service is a LARGE topic but this lab provides the basic principles and essentials for this course and DNS set-up for other courses.
