This may be a silly question but I'm tired of searching for the answer, so
here's the question: 

Does a Windows client send unicast or broadcast packets when querying a DNS
server(s)?

The reason I'm asking is that I was looking through my old CID book and came
across the statement that "Windows clients send unicast packets to the WINS
server at a well-known address". However, there is nothing regarding this
when it comes to DNS. An Internet search came up with the same thing
everywhere I looked: "the Windows client sends a DNS query". What kind of
query? Unicast or Broadcast?
