You can see in the diagram above that when one of your VMs does a name resolution request:
:* The VM contacts the host, which is running a DNS proxy (a.k.a. stub resolver), not a full DNS server:* The DNS proxy on the host contacts the Seneca DNS server, which was assigned to be used on the host via DHCP:* Depending on the request - the Seneca DNS server may contact other DNS servers to get the answer to the request. After you have completed this lab, your '''vm1''' will be running a full-featured DNS server (which is how you're going to get the '''yoursenecaid.org''' domain without paying for it). Unfortunately, you will be the only one using your DNS server so no-one else will be able to resolve hosts under '''yoursenecaid.org'''
