2.4 DNS

A Domain Name Server (DNS) maps the user-friendly domain
name that you type into your web browser—www.zoom.com, for
example—into the numeric IP addresses that are used for Internet
routing. The domain name www.zoom.com is the equivalent of IP
address 209.192.157.65. When you type a domain name into your
browser, your PC sends a request to a DNS server to find the
equivalent IP address.
By default, the X5v and the V3 serve as the DNS proxy by
intercepting requests from computers on the LAN and then
forwarding the requests to your service provider's DNS server. The
X5v and V3 can also store in memory a certain number of domain
names (URLs) together with their IP addresses, and can send those
addresses back to the requesting computers without having to go
out to the ISP's DNS server. This saves a considerable amount of
time.
Typically, you should not need or want to change your DNS
settings. Should your service provider instruct you to make
changes, however, click the DNS button on the Advanced Setup
page to go to the DNS Configuration page.
