2.2.7 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and
Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as
www.router.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and the
matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and
convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with
dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided
automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use,
you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here.
