This section describes the following DNS Add commands:
add dns host <host_name and domain_name> address <IP_address>
add dns server <IP_address> preference <priority_rating> name
<server_name and domain_name>
Adds the named host to the Local Host Table. When the system needs to resolve
an address for an IP host name, the Local Host Table is checked first, before a
request is sent to the remote DNS Name Server.
Parameters
<host_name>
address
Adds the IP address of a remote DNS server to the Domain Name Server Table. The
preference number specifies the order DNS servers in this table are accessed, with
1 as the highest preference and 10 as the lowest. The first specified server is sent
the IP Host Name to be resolved, first with, then without the default domain name
(see set dns domain_name for more information about the default domain name).
If that server cannot resolve the name, it is sent to the next specified server.
The OfficeConnect Gateway will try to reach each configured host three times in
round-robin fashion before issuing an error message. For instance, in the case of
three off-line servers - A, B and C - the OfficeConnect Gateway will admit failure
only after trying to reach them one after the other, three times.
Parameters
