I mean to ask, how does that /etc/resolv.conf file know initially what
is the nearest , or at least ,what is the ip address of a DNS server? i
am talking of initial settings, i install my pc , and then now i am
talking...
does each browser have a fixed dns server? or how?
hope you got my question,

typically starts by asking the resolver to resolve a name into an IP
address. The resolver consults a configuration file - /etc/resolv.conf
on Unix - and asks the nameservers listed there (which is typically
the IP address(es) of the nearest DNS cache) to resolve the name for
Either you manually configure it (in /etc/resolv.conf) or a DHCP
server assigns it.
