Introduction

This chapter introduces the Domain Name System (DNS). You'll learn what DNS is, how it works, and how to configure it to work according to your requirements. We'll start by configuring your machines to be able to resolve hostnames, such as www.google.com and we'll work toward learning to configure your own domain.
