This is the actual IP
address for a DNS server.
Some internet service providers do not have a static IP
address. They use what is called static host names, which
correspond to a actual static IP address. You can enter more
than one IP address here, a primary and a secondary,
and please note that they must be separated by a space.
For example, on the Internet there exists a special case of
nameservers lookup sites, the so called Domain Name System
(DNS) servers, which are used to translate a static hostname or
a domain name (for example, ‘WCC-CONTROLS.com’) to its
corresponding binary identifi er (the IP address 76.12.37.232),
or vice versa.
