Domain Name Space searcher

 

Today more than 5,000,000 computers are inter-connected in a global Internet, comprising several millions of end-users, able to reach any of those machines just by naming it. This facility is possible thanks to the world widest distributed database, the Domain Name System, used to provide distributed applications various services,the most notable one being translating names into IP addresses and vice-versa. This happens when we use FTP or Telnet, when your gopher client follows a link to some remote server, when you click on a hypertext item and have to reach a server as defined by the URL, when you talk to someuser@some.host, etc. The program presented by this paper retrieves information from Domain Name Space about specified host, or specified domain.
