Distribute: Allow this static route to be distributed via a routing protocol (BGP, OSPF, RIP, RIPng). DNS SERVERS DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint. com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers.
