A NameServer is a program that converts the name of a computer on the InterNet? to a special numerical address that computers need to talk to one another. This is analogous to a phone book, where you have to find the phone number for "Bob Smith" before you can call him; the telephone switches no nothing about the names of companies or people, but they understand phone numbers pretty well.

A common NameServer program is BIND. SystemAdministrators? who use BIND can use a program written by KirkStrauser, called ViDns, to edit their ZoneFiles?.
