Name Server (Domain Name Registration)

Nameservers (or Domain Name Servers) are the machines that perform the DNS function, containing zone files listing all the hosts on their network, and their corresponding IP addresses. If a nameserver is unable to determine which IP address a given hostname (i.e. www.opensrs.org) should map to, it will at least be able to point to another nameserver, which will either contain the information, or pass the request on until the correct nameserver is found.

Name Server (Domain Names)

A machine that contains a local record mapping domain names and IP addresses. Domain names reference two name servers: a primary name server and a secondary name server. The latter is used if the former is inaccessible for any reason.

Name Server (Linux, Red Hat)

A system that uses domain name system (DNS) to translate an assigned name into its associated IP address, and vice versa.
