Briefly describe how a Web server can resolve a Web address.

What will be an ideal response?


When you type in a Web address, your browser must resolve that name to the Web server's IP address to make a connection to that Web server. In the early days, it could resolve the name by broadcasting or by consulting the locally stored hosts text file. Today, the browser consults the host's DNS resolver cache or queries a DNS server.
