A method and a system for designating a priority access order of one or more DNS servers. DNS servers are accessed in the designated order until an IP address is found or until there are no more DNS servers to access. The DNS servers' IP addresses may be received from a network configuration server or the IP addresses may be entered by a user. The priority access order may be designated by a user or the order may be determined by examining a history of DNS server requests and a history of DNS server responses. After a translation of a domain name into an IP address is requested, the request is sent to one or more of the DNS servers in the designated access order. Alternatively, the DNS servers may be accessed in the order the servers are listed in the computer system's network configuration settings.
