Configuring the Internal DNS Table

The Internal DNS table, similar to a DNS resolution can translate up to 20 host (domain) names into
IP addresses. This functionality can be used when a domain name (FQDN) is configured as an IP
destination in a routing rule. For the Gateway application, this is typically used for alternative Tel-to-
IP call routing. Up to three different IP addresses can be assigned to the same host name.
The device attempts to resolve a domain name into an IP address in the following order:
1. The device first checks the Internal DNS table for a matching domain name and if found,
resolves the domain name into the corresponding IP address(es).
2. If no matching domain name exists in the Internal DNS table, the device performs a DNS query
with an external third-party DNS server whose address is configured for the associated IP
network interface in the IP Interfaces table (see
The device uses the Internal DNS table only for call routing, for example:

ip).
