The Dns class is a static class that retrieves information about a specific host from the Internet Domain Name System (DNS).
The host information from the DNS query is returned in an instance of the IPHostEntry class. If the specified host has more than one entry in the DNS database, IPHostEntry contains multiple IP addresses and aliases.
