DNS
The system that turns a human-readable name like example.com into the numeric address computers use.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the internet's phone book: given a hostname, it looks up the IP address needed to actually connect. Almost every network request starts with a DNS resolution step. microZeus performs this resolution within its own network stack.
