2. This is the first time this site has been requested; therefore, the domain is unknown
by the local DNS server and the request needs to be forwarded from the local DNS
server to the ISP??™s DNS server, which does know that www.novell.com resolves to
130.57.5.25. The ISP??™s DNS servers are public servers.
3. After the full URL of http://www.novell.com is placed in the Location field,
requested by the browser, and resolved to an IP address of 130.57.5.25, that information
is then cached in the local DNS server so that if this request is again brought
up, it will be quicker to resolve.
4. Now that www.novell.com has been resolved to the local DNS server, the answer of
130.57.5.25 is given to the client.
5. The client now can connect via the Internet to the www.novell.com website and
browse it for openSUSE help or other information.
In this scenario, you had a DNS server and a DNS client. In this chapter you will learn
how to set up and install openSUSE to handle both server and client tasks. The DNS client
is the host that is requesting DNS information that is provided by a DNS database, either
local to the system itself (hosts), as shown in Figure 27.
