Chapter 25 DNS 443
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 440 for more on address records.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
FQDN 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.

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.
