DNS

Probably one of the most important things to keep in mind when working with your systems networking is DNS, which is short for Domain Name System. DNS is the way that every system on the Internet is able to turn URLs (e.g., www.apress.com ) into an IP address (e.g., 173.203.147.183). DNS on your Linux machine works by knowing where it should direct its queries. This is governed by the file /etc/resolv.conf, which contains a name server directive that tells your system where the name server it should query is located. Normally this is your router, but it can be an Internet DNS server such as Google’s 8.8.8.8. These will appear in resolv.conf like this:

nameserver 10.0.0.1
