General Settings
Enable Select this to enable this DNS load balancing rule.
DNS Setting
Query Domain Name Type up to 255 characters for a domain name for which you want the ZyWALL/USG
to manage DNS load balancing. You can use a wildcard (*) to let multiple domains
match the name. For example, use *.example.com to specify any domain name that
ends with "example.com" would match.
Time to Live Enter the number of seconds the ZyWALL/USG recommends DNS request hosts to
keep the DNS entry in their caches before removing it. Enter 0 to have the ZyWALL/
USG not recommend this so the DNS request hosts will follow their DNS server's TTL
setting.
Query From Setting
IP Address Enter the IP address of a computer or a DNS server which makes the DNS queries
upon which to apply this rule.
DNS servers process client queries using recursion or iteration:
•
•
Zone Select the zone of DNS query messages upon which to apply this rule.
Chapter 17 Inbound Load Balancing
In recursion, DNS servers make recursive queries on behalf of clients. So you
have to configure this field to the DNS server's IP address when recursion is
used.
In iteration, a client asks the DNS server and expects the best and immediate
answer without the DNS server contacting other DNS servers. If the primary DNS
server cannot provide the best answer, the client makes iteration queries to other
configured DNS servers to resolve the name. You have to configure this field to
the client's IP address when iteration is used.
