Domain Name Service (DNS)

Overview In the early days of the ARPANET, the forerunner to today's Internet, there were only a small number of computers attached to the network. As the ARPANET continued to grow, it became clear that ARPANET needed a better solution. Several proposals were generated based on the concept of a distributed naming service, which was based on a hierarchical name space. RFCs 882 and 883 emerged, which described the design for a domain name system, based on a distributed database containing generalized resource information. This design evolved, and RFCs 1034 and 1035 were issued to describe the Domain Name System (DNS) service used in today's Internet. This paper describes Microsoft Windows 2000's implementation of the DNS protocol.
