While I get that the DNS sever does this won't that be for local translations ? and the gateway to reach external DNS ?

The client is always using the DNS server within its network settings to resolve names into IPs. It does not matter wether the DNS server is internal or external; however if it was external, yes the request flows through the default gateway. But a local DNS server would also sent a request to another DNS server via the default gateway. The questions just aims to point out the DNS server.

Anyone tell me why it's not DHCP server?

Nmk173

DHCP server is responsible for ip address of the clients in the local network. Not for the Domain Names. and www.cisco.com is a domain name.

It's requesting the IP address of cisco.com, it's not asking for cisco.com to assign it an ip address.
