HOW DNS WORKS! 

You may have heard about this DNS mambo jambo being thrown around the internet and wondered what it was. You may have even Googled "What is DNS?" . After I purchased www.someguyinbaltimore.com I came across a wikipedia entry that tried to explain it. Admittedly a wiki entry that, after reading it, makes you want to stab your eyes out with forks.

Don't stab your eyes yet. Hopefully I will be able to explain in a simple, clear, explain-it-like-im-five kind of way.  So here goes.

Simply put, DNS is a phonebook system for the entire internet. It stands for Domain Name System and it's how your browser knows when you type www.google.com you really mean http://74.125.224.72/ . Those numbers are called the IP address. This is the number that identifies a computer on the internet. Think of it like a phone number. DNS is one of the most essential parts to the functionality of the internet.

We all know how hard it can be to remember a phone number. This is where DNS comes in. Instead of having to remember a number, we now have an easy to remember name. So how does it work?

There are root servers at the top of the internet keeping track of all the name servers. For each domain there is a name server. The name server is the component that takes the domain names and translates it to the corresponding IP address to locate it on the internet.

The flow looks a little like this.

You type www.google.com into your browser.

Your computer then asks the router for a DNS record.

Your router then contacts your ISP

ISP contacts the Root server for the Name server.

ISP then asks the Name Server for the DNS record

The Name Server gives your ISP the DNS record.

ISP give the DNS record to your router

Router gives the DNS record to your computer
