3.7.5 DNS Server
Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. The
gateway's DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network
the DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other network users may immediately
communicate with this computer using either its name or its IP address. In addition your gateway's DNS:
Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the DHCP server.
Supports multiple subnets within the LAN simultaneously.
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using W40 WBM.
Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (which is needed when a host has multiple network cards).
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view the list of computers known by the
DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.
3.7.5.1 Viewing and Modifying the DNS Table
To view the list of computers stored in the DNS table:
Access this feature from Services Tab->DNS Server, or by clicking its icon in the Advanced screen. The DNS table
will be displayed (see Figure 106).
To add a new entry to the list:
1. Click the New DNS Entry button. The DNS Entry screen will appear (see Figure 107).
2. Enter the computer's host name and IP address.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Game-related traffic will receive priority.
This entry provides the option to configure which computer in
your LAN will receive the highest priority and which the lowest. If
you have additional computers, they will receive medium priority.
High Priority Host - Enter the host name or IP address of the
computer to which you would like to grant the highest bandwidth
priority.
Low Priority Host - Enter the host name or IP address of the
computer to which you would like to grant the lowest bandwidth
priority.
