DNS Client: Navigating the Digital Sea
DNS Client is a client machine configured to send name resolution queries to a DNS server. A DNS client is also called a resolver. When a client needs to resolve a remote host’s name into its IP address, it sends a request to the DNS server, which returns the IP address of the remote host.…
