Conflicting definitions. I have always believed DNS stands for Domain Name Service.
According to Microsoft DNS
:D

I've always referred to it as Domain Naming System, & that's what the Windows XP Help & Support Center calls it too.
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!
I would just agree with microsoft :)
Nope - too many conflicting definitions.Quote:

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 :D
DNS RFCs :)

Thanks for the help. That was the site that confirmed it to me originally
. Who are all those who voted Domain Name Server :lol:
Only 3 out of 11 of use voted for Domain Name System! I voted
for System. :D
If you want a listing I think a Mod could get it for you. Unless
every that voted would tell what they voted for?
I voted service. :D
i voted system
Domain Name Server, which is the same as Name Server, its just a longer word to say Name Server.
DN System :D, I think I said that before anyway, so that's the 3 then for System.
i vote for System
I take it does not mean "Did Not Start" ?
:lol:
