A third type of server is called a caching-only server. A cache is part of a computer's memory that keeps frequently requested data ready to be accessed. As a caching-only server, it responds to queries from clients on the local network for name resolution requests. It queries other DNS servers for information about domains and computers that offer services such as Web and FTP. When it receives information from other DNS servers, it stores that information in its cache in case a request for that information is made again.
