Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-008407

A domain name service server contains a database of names and their corresponding IP address. IP addresses are used to identify each computer connected to a network. No two computers will have the same IP address, though a single IP address may have more than one name associated with it. For example both epapub.epa.gov and www.epa.gov have the same numeric IP address.
