Adding A Cname Record; Domain Zone Forwarder; Adding A Domain Zone Forwarder - ZyXEL Communications ZyWall 110 User Manual

For example, the domain name zyxel.com is hooked up to a record named A which translates it to
11.22.33.44. You also have several subdomains, like mail.zyxel.com, ftp.zyxel.com and you want this
subdomain to point to your main domain zyxel.com. Edit the IP Address in record A and all subdomains
will follow automatically. This eliminates chances for errors and increases efficiency in DNS
management.

44.6.8 Domain Zone Forwarder

A domain zone forwarder contains a DNS server's IP address. The Zyxel Device can query the DNS server
to resolve domain zones for features like VPN, DDNS and the time server. A domain zone is a fully
qualified domain name without the host. For example, zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the
www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified domain name.

DESCRIPTION
Enter an Alias Name. Use "*." as a prefix in the Alias name for a wildcard domain
name (for example, *.example.com).
Type a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of a server. An FQDN starts with a host
name and continues all the way up to the top-level domain name. For example,
www.zyxel.com.tw is a fully qualified domain name, where "www" is the host, "zyxel"
is the third-level domain, "com" is the second-level domain, and "tw" is the top level
domain. Underscores are not allowed.
Use "*." as a prefix in the FQDN for a wildcard domain name (for example,
*.example.com).
