DNS advanced settings

DNS cache
Enable this checkbox to activate the DNS cache. Once a host name is successfully resolved to
an IP address by a remote DNS server, it is stored in the cache. This speeds up network
performance, because the remote DNS server does not have to be queried for subsequent
requests for this host.
An entry stays in the cache until one of the following is true:
An error occurs when connecting to the remote host.

 The time to live (TTL) of the DNS request expires.
 The controller restarts.
DNS switch on server failure
Controls how the controller switches between servers:
 When enabled, the controller switches servers if the current server replies with a DNS
server failure message.
 When disabled, the controller switches servers if the current server does not reply to a
DNS request.
