The action of finding an [IP] address given a HostName, using [DNS].
+
+ bash-2.05b$ host wlug.org.nz
+ wlug.org.nz has address 203.97.10.50
+ wlug.org.nz mail is handled (pri=10) by smtp.wlug.org.nz
A ForwardLookup tends to use A records in [DNS], though may also use any combination of [CNAME]/[MX] depending on what you're looking for.
Contrast ReverseLookup.
