-<p>Domain Name Service (DNS for short) is that magical protocol that allows your computer
-to turn meaningless domain names like www.slackware.com into meaningful IP address like
-<tt class="HOSTID">64.57.102.34</tt>. Computers can't route packets to www.slackware.com,
-but they can route packets to that domain name's IP address. This gives us a convenient
-way to remember machines. Without DNS we'd have to keep a mental database of just what IP
-address belongs to what computer, and that's assuming the IP address doesn't change.
-Clearly using names for computers is better, but how do we map names to IP addresses?</p>

-<p>This should give you an idea how <tt class="COMMAND">dig</tt> works.
-&#8220;@192.168.1.254&#8221; specifies the dns server to use.
-&#8220;www.slackware.com&#8221; is the domain name I am performing a lookup on, and
-&#8220;mx&#8221; is the type of lookup I am performing. The above query tells me that
-e-mail to <tt class="HOSTID">www.slackware.com</tt> will instead be sent to <tt
-class="HOSTID">mail.slackware.com</tt> for delivery.</p>
