# Discovering DNS names using push-based discovery

CMDB owners need CIs to contain all domain system names (DNS) associated with their system. Starting in Agent Client Collector for Visibility Content (ACC-VC) version 2.3.0, ACC-VC can discover DNS name lists for Windows and Linux CIs.

When discovering DNS names associated with systems, the following occurs.

* network_adapters.rb is used to populate the DNS name for all the IP addresses using OSquery. (There is no limit.)
* Nslookupcommand is used to get the DNS name for all IP addresses.  
  Note:  
  Nslookup must be configured on the target.

{#acc-v-discover-dns-names__ul_gty_lgt_25b}

This creates a relationship of Owns::Owned by between the CI and the DNS names.

This information is then populated into the \[cmdb_ci_dns_name\] table.
