The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is used to translate domain names into IP addresses, and to control Internet e-mail delivery. The DNS directory service consists of DNS data, DNS servers, and Internet protocols for fetching data from the servers. The billions of resource records in the DNS directory are split into millions of files called zones. Zones are kept on authoritative servers distributed all over the Internet, which answer queries according to the DNS network protocols. In contrast, caching servers simply query the authoritative servers and cache any replies. Most servers are authoritative for some zones and perform a caching function for all other DNS information. Most DNS servers are authoritative for just a few zones, but larger servers are authoritative for thousands of zones.
