The Beauty of Domain Name ServersDNS is a rather amazing distributed database.

It handles billions of requests for billions of names every day through a network of millions of name servers administered by millions of people.

Every time you send an e-mail message or view a URL, you are making requests to multiple name servers scattered all over the globe.

What's amazing is that the process is usually completely invisible and extremely reliable!
