Recursive DNS resolver

A recursive DNS resolver is like a thorough librarian for the internet’s address book. When you type a website URL, the resolver searches through various sources to find the exact location (IP address) of that website. It starts with root servers, then moves to top-level domain servers, and finally to authoritative servers if needed. This process ensures you get the right address quickly, allowing your browser to connect to the website. Essentially, the recursive resolver handles all the work behind the scenes to translate human-friendly domain names into machine-readable IP addresses.
