Why do we need the Domain Name System (DNS)? Given the domain name www.flamingflamingos.eu, what is the top-level domain in this name? How many different nameservers need to be visited in order to find the location of www.flamingflamingos.eu, including the ROOT server? How long does this whole process take?
