What You Need To Know; Dns Entry - ZyXEL Communications VMG Series User Manual

14.1.2 What You Need To Know

DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP
address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example,
www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.

14.2 DNS Entry

DNS (Domain Name System) is used for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa. Use this screen to view and configure manual DNS entires on the Zyxel Device. Click Network
Setting > DNS to open the DNS Entry screen.
Note: The host name should consist of the host's local name and the domain name. For
example, Mycomputer.home is a host name where Mycomputer is the host's local
name, and .home is the domain name.
