Dns Server - NetModule NB1600 User Manual

5.7.3. DNS Server

The DNS server can be used to proxy DNS requests towards servers on the net which have
for instance been negotiated during WAN link negotiation. By pointing DNS requests to
the router, one can reduce outbound DNS traffic as it is caching already resolved names
but it can be also used for serving fixed addresses for particular host names.
The following settings can be applied:
Administrative status: Enables or disables the DNS server
Default DNS server 1: The primary default DNS server which will be used if no other
service can be negotiated
Default DNS server 2: The secondary server which will be used in case the primary
server is not available
You may further configure static hosts for serving fixed IP addresses for various host-
names. Please remember to point local hosts to the router's address for resolving them.
