Briefly explain the steps in the process used to resolve a domain name to an IP address if the information is not stored in the system's HOSTS file or in its cache.

What will be an ideal response?


The system queries the DNS server listed in its DNS server settings. If the DNS server cannot resolve the name, the DNS server asks the root server. The root server redirects to a top-level DNS server that in turn points to a second-level DNS server that actually resolves the domain name.
