Before the deployment of DNS, a simple text file (HOSTS.TXT) centrally maintained at the SRI Network Information

Question:

Before the deployment of DNS, a simple text file (HOSTS.TXT) centrally maintained at the SRI Network Information Center was used to enable mapping between host names and addresses. Each host connected to the Internet had to have an updated local copy of it to be able to use host names instead of having to cope directly with their IP addresses. Discuss the main advantages of the DNS over the old centralized HOSTS.TXT system.
