What file is used to translate host names to IP addresses?
The file used to translate host names to IP addresses is the hosts file. This is a plain text file used by an operating system to map hostnames to IP addresses. The hosts file is an old method used before DNS was created to resolve hostnames. It allows manual mapping of hostnames to IP addresses.
Isn't that supposed to be DNS? I'm confussed
In this case the question asks about file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)
La clave esta en que en la pregunta indica que tipo de archivo, dns no es un archivo, en este caso es el archivo hots que se encuentra en la maquina local
