Domain Name System. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
Many people might think of it as Domain Name Server. Any admin that runs one wouldn't consider DNS to mean domain name server, since they will often talk about "migrating the DNS server," or "the DNS server is down."

DNS works the same in Linux as it is in Windows. Domain Name Service is used to resolve a host name to an IP address. To setup a DNS server with Linux you would use BIND. I included a tutorial on how to setup BIND. Make sure you fully understand how DNS works with the forward and reverse lookups before you jump into it.

Your question is pretty vague. Taking it at face value, I'm going to assume you're asking what daemon is a DNS server. It is either named or bind.

domain name server.
don't bother with it. you can probably leave it blank and the system will automatically give you one based on your connection.
