Remarks

The Domain Name Services (DNS) protocol is what applications use to resolve domain names into Internet addresses as well as provide other information about a domain. All of the SocketTools libraries provide basic domain name resolution functionality, but the Domain Name Services library gives an application direct control over what servers are queried, the amount of time spent waiting for a response and the type of information that is returned.
