DNS Configuration
The domain name system (DNS) is a static, hierarchical name service for TCP/IP hosts.
The network administrator configures the DNS with a list of host names and IP addresses.
This allows users on the network to query the DNS to specify remote systems by host
names rather than IP addresses.
The purpose of this property page is to allow you to enter the addresses of external DNS servers.
The server appliance does not contain a DNS server.
For example, a workstation configured to use DNS name resolution could use the
command ping remotehost rather than ping 1.2.3.4 if the mapping for the system named
remotehost was contained in the DNS database. DNS domains should not be confused
with Microsoft Windows domains.
