This post is a question, not an article giving the answer. Sorry.

So I really don't get why sometimes adding or removing a DNS identifier (such as 8.8.8.8) changes anything about my connection.

Shouldn't all names be tied to the same IP address? Why does the server matter?

Thanks for your clarifications
