About DNS Servers
Before DNS servers came into existence, a website could only be identified by machines through its host name. All of these host names were saved in one large file known as the hosts.txt. However, this method of managing host names became hard to maintain given the tremendous growth in computer networks during the period between 1970 and 1980.

Benefits of DNS Notify
DNS Notify is a tool that facilitates the zone transfer between the primary and secondary DNS servers. If your IT environment only uses a single DNS server, then it’s not necessary to have DNS notify. So you’re probably wondering what a zone transfer is by now. A zone transfer is more like a transaction between a slave machine and the master machine where in this case the slave machine represents the secondary server and the master machine is known as the primary server.
DNS Server: What Are They?
A DNS server or name server can be best described as a phone book that has all the public IP addresses and domain names that are related to each other. It serves to translate domain names e.g. XYZ.com to a machine-readable IP address e.g. 120.154.12.11. This is quite important because computers can’t process domain names. In order for them to access websites they have to look for the IP address connected with that particular domain name.
