The Magic of the DNS deciphered
To most people, it may seem like a magic trick: open a web browser and type apple.com and the web page opens. If you showed this to someone in the 15th century, you could be accused of witchcraft! Instead of the magic, however, behind all of this is genius engineering by the smart people who designed the Internet protocols over 40 years ago! The DNS protocol plays the key part in the Internet protocols; one could say that without the DNS, the Internet would not exist in its current form.
