For example (one of!) from http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1123.html :

      6.1.1 INTRODUCTION

->       Every host MUST implement a resolver for the Domain Name System
         (DNS), and it MUST implement a mechanism using this DNS
         resolver to convert host names to IP addresses and vice-versa
         [DNS:1, DNS:2].

->       In addition to the DNS, a host MAY also implement a host name
->       translation mechanism that searches a local Internet host
->       table.  See Section 6.1.3.8 for more information on this
->       option.

BTW very nice document (Much many statements inside).
