After you're finished with this lab - your vm1 will be running a full-featured DNS server, which is how you're going to get the '''yoursenecaid.org''' domain without paying for it. Unfortunately you'll be the only one using your DNS server so noone else will be able to resolve hosts under '''yoursenecaid.org'''
=== How DNS resolution works ===
Read the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System#Address_resolution_mechanism Address resolution mechanism] section (including the Recursive and caching name server subsection) on Wikipedia for an overview of a DNS query. The diagram there is also quite simple and appropriate. DNS is a large topic but this is the minimum that you need to understand for this course.
