The invention discloses a method for allocating a DNS server resource. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining state information corresponding to DNS servers, wherein the obtained state information is used to indicate load processing capabilities of the DNS servers corresponding to the state information; determining an accessed sequence of the DNS servers according to the state information; and sending the accesses sequence of the DNS servers and address information of the DNS servers to a terminal. Through the method and according to the load processing capabilities represented by the state information of the DNS servers, the accessed sequence of the DNS servers can be determined, and the determined accessed sequence of the DNS servers and the address information of the DNS servers are sent to the terminal, so the DNS server accessed by the terminal can be a DNS server having the highest load processing capability.
