The
Domain Name System (DNS) was designed in the 1980s to handle
the growing number of Internet users. The Domain Name System
translates names, such as www.optus.com.au, into IP addresses
to enable computers to communicate with each other. DNS makes
using Internet applications, such as the World Wide Web, easy.
The process is as if, when phoning your friends and relatives,
you could use their names instead of having to remember their
phone numbers.

General
Information used for DNS |

If you have your own name server you can forward all requests to our DNS farm:
ns.optus.net.au 61.88.88.88
The DNS farm maps to sites in each capital city in Australia, with each site having a redundant load balancing cluster. Queries will be directed to the server farm from your network via the most efficient route.
Do not forward requests to the primary or secondary name servers dns0.optus.net.au or dns1.optus.net.au as this facility will be disabled in the near future.
