What is Imprtant of DNS Distributed, Hierarchical Database

DNS Distributed, Hierarchical Database solve the below problems 
A single point of failure:- If the DNS server crashes, so does the entire Internet!

Traffic volume:- A single DNS server would have to handle all DNS queries (for all the HTTP requests and e-mail messages generated from hundreds of millions of hosts).

Distant centralized database:-A single DNS server cannot be “close to” all the querying clients. If we put the single DNS server in New York City, then all queries from Australia must travel to the other side of the globe, perhaps over slow and congested links. This can lead to significant delays.

Maintenance:-The single DNS server would have to keep records for all Internet hosts. Not only would this centralized database be huge, but it would have to be updated frequently to account for every new host
