DNS

Top  Previous  Next

By adding external DNS servers Gibraltar forwards DNS request to these servers and does not use the root DNS servers to resolve DNS requests. Additionally you can add seperate DNS servers for specific domains (for example internal Microsoft Windows DNS servers). With inserting the domain and the IP address of the DNS server the DNS requests get forwarded to the correct internal DNS server.

 

1.Choose Network in the main menu.
2.Choose the card DNS.
3.External DNS Servers: Enter here the IP addresses of the external DNS servers your provider offers to you. If you do not enter any DNS servers here, the root DNS servers will be used for resolving DNS names.
4.Internal DNS Servers: Enter pairs of the domain and the IP address. If Gibraltar receives a DNS request concerning one of the domains quoted, Gibraltar forwards the request to the according IP address. Mostly used are internal DNS servers (e.g. internaldns.esys.at).
