gollark: A nameserver is basically just a server which serves the DNS protocol. This is not very descriptive, yes. But although many things work as DNS servers, nameservers (strictly authoritative nameservers, I think) are ones which serve the "official" records for one domain.
gollark: I'm not done.
gollark: DNS is a hierarchical system.
gollark: I also have a DNS to IRC bridge (unidirectionally).
gollark: With real DNS, you can actually run your own nameservers and make everyone suffer.
