Inserting A Name Server Record; Figure 271 Advanced > Dns > Add (Address Record); Table 149 Advanced > Dns > Add (Address Record) - ZyXEL Communications ZYWALL 35 User Manual

An address record contains the mapping of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to an IP
address. Configure address records about the ZyWALL itself or another device to keep a
record of DNS names and addresses that people on your network may use frequently. If the
ZyWALL receives a DNS query for an FQDN for which the ZyWALL has an address record,
the ZyWALL can send the IP address in a DNS response without having to query a DNS name
server. See Section 25.4 on page 476

DESCRIPTION
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 second-level domain, and "com.tw" is the top level domain.
If this entry is for one of the WAN ports on a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports,
select WAN Interface and select WAN 1 or WAN 2 from the drop-down list box.
If this entry is for the WAN port on a ZyWALL with a single WAN port, select WAN
Interface.
For entries that are not for the WAN port(s), select Custom and enter the IP
address of the host in dotted decimal notation.
Select the check box to enable DNS wildcard.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.
