Windows 2000 clients use DNS for name resolution and locating domain controllers for logon. In
the DNS, the clients are resolvers and the servers are name servers. DNS uses three components:
resolvers, name servers, and the domain name space. A resolver sends queries to a name server.
The name server returns the requested information, a pointer to another name server, or a failure
message, if the request cannot be satisfied.
