10 DNS

10.1 Using DNS

96 / 180
Most computer users confront with DNS without actually realizing
it. e.g. When you type www.alcatel.com , into the URL field of
the Web browser.
Your browser must resolve www.alcatel.com into an Alcatel
IP address in order for the HTTP request to end up in the Alcatel
WWW server.
Most of the time your ISP or corporate network performs this DNS
resolving. There are however situations where local DNS resolving
and DNS proxying is required.
The Speed Touch Home can be configured to perform this task.
The same mechanism for resolving computer names to IP
addresses when browsing the Internet, applies to your local
network. Instead of using the IP addresses for a local IP node e.g.
10.0.0.138 for the STHome, give your nodes names and let
a local DNS server do the resolving.
