What is the name of the text file used on a local machine to perform host name-to-ip address resolution?
The text file used on a local machine for hostname-to-IP address resolution is called the "hosts" file. It typically resides in the directory /etc/ on Unix-based systems (like Linux and macOS) and in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ on Windows systems. This file allows users to manually map hostnames to IP addresses, bypassing DNS queries for local resolution.

Explain briefly about name resolution in Windows 2000?
Name Resolution OrderTwo types of resolution are specific and standard. Microsoft resolves names two ways depending on whether the name is a TCP/IP host name or NetBIOS name. NetBIOS name resolution order for NetBIOS H-node: NetBIOS name cache - StandardWINS (3 attempts) - StandardNetBIOS b-node broadcast - Standardlmhosts file - Specific.hosts file - Specific.DNS - Specific. Request sent at 5, 10, 20, 40, 5, 10, and 20 seconds.
What is client side DNS resolver cache?
The client resolver cache is the first place that the DNS client looks for host name resolution. Because it is a location in memory, the client resolver cache resolves IP addresses more quickly than the other host name resolution methods and does not create network traffic. The cache stores host names that have recently been resolved. It also contains mappings that are loaded from the Hosts file. These mappings include the record name, Time-to-Live (TTL) value, and IP address.
