You use one other type of Internet server almost every time that you request information
from an Internet host. A Domain Name System (DNS) server translates between the numeric
IP addresses that identify each host computer on the Internet and the corresponding
domain names. People prefer to use host names because they are easier to type and
remember, but actual Internet communications use the numeric addresses. For example,
if your browser requests a web page from the Yahoo! web site, which has the host name www.yahoo.com, a DNS server translates that name to 204.71.200.69, one of
Yahoo’s web servers, and then sends the request to that IP address.
