Re: Resolving DNS Names

They MUST "take part" but they can do it by either doing the recursion
physically themselves, i.e., from the root DNS on the Internet down, or
by forwarding to another DNS server (set) to do this actualy resolution.

Generally forwarding is a better choice.

Ok but if recursion or forwarding is not configured then basically they cant
"take part"?

Also what about this proxy server, if my web browser is set to use a proxy
then my computer will not use the assigned settings for internet access but
will directly connect to a proxy server...is it?
