Define: DNS
Conflicting definitions. I have always believed DNS stands for Domain Name Service.

DynDns.org defines it as Domain Name Service: here and Domain Name System: here

I've always referred to it as Domain Naming System, & that's what the Windows XP Help & Support Center calls it too.

I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

I highly doubt it would be Domain Name Server, because you wouldn't really ask someone for their Domain Name Server Name for a computer, which would be the server that holds the records, not the actual record itself, system allows for both to be coupled into one.

If you actually read the first paragraph from my lin to M$ it explains
it without a doubt. I would believe the creators of the product
over a different company's website. The way DynDNS defines DNS
is how M$ defines it more or less. I think M$ know what they are
talking about, since it is their product. Most people do refer to
DNS as Domain Name Server or Service but it is just a shortened
version of Domain Name System Server or Domain Name System
Service because it runs only on a server as a service.
Ok, let the bashing begin!

Nope - too many conflicting definitions.
Who invented DNS? Who is responsible for defining the standard? Does it have an RFC?

Domain Name System = DNS (confirmed - I think)
Domain Name Service = UDP port 53
Domain Name Server = Long name for a Name Server

Only 3 out of 11 of use voted for Domain Name System! I voted
for System.
If you want a listing I think a Mod could get it for you. Unless
every that voted would tell what they voted for?
