Why is it not necessary for any single machine to know every DNS name on the Internet?

What will be an ideal response?


Each computer does not need to know every DNS name on the Internet because it only needs to query one DNS server, which will resolve any DNS name by forwarding the request to other DNS servers, if necessary. Therefore, each host only needs to know the IP address of a single DNS server to which it sends its requests.
