DNS resolvers have several advantages over letting each Internet host query directly nameservers. Firstly, regular Internet hosts do not need to maintain the up-to-date list of the addresses of the root servers. Secondly, regular Internet hosts do not need to send queries to nameservers all over the Internet. Furthermore, as a DNS resolver serves a large number of hosts, it can cache the received answers. This allows the resolver to quickly return answers for popular DNS queries and reduces the load on all DNS servers [JSBM2002]_.
Benefits of names
if the server process moves to another physical server, all clients must be informed about the new server address
if there are many concurrent clients, the load of the server will increase without any possibility of adding another server without changing the server addresses used by the clients
Footnotes
The :term:`hosts.txt` file is not maintained anymore. A historical snapshot from April 1984 is available from http://ftp.univie.ac.at/netinfo/netinfo/hosts.txt
See http://www.donelan.com/dnstimeline.html for a time line of DNS related developments.
This specification evolved later to support domain names written by using other character sets than us-ASCII :rfc:`5890`. This extension is important to support languages other than English, but a detailed discussion is outside the scope of this document.
The official list of top-level domain names is maintained by :term:`IANA` at http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt Additional information about these domains may be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
A copy of the information maintained by each root nameserver is available at http://www.internic.net/zones/root.zone
It is interesting to note that to prevent any homograph attack, Google Inc. registered the `g00gle.com` domain name but does not apparently use it.
