Proxy > DNS Proxy
DNS Proxy is a module used to redirect DNS requests to name servers. This module supports a caching-only
name server which will store the DNS entries for a specified item. So, when there is a query next time, the
values will be taken from the cache and the response will be sent from the module itself. This will shorten the
waiting time significantly, especially if it is a slow connection.
On this screen you can enter the DNS (Domain Name Server) Proxy for your RouteFinder and configure it.
Note: If you configure several name servers, the servers are queried in the listed order.
