Name Server Record A name server record contains a DNS server’s IP address. The ZyWALL can
query the DNS server to resolve domain names for features like VPN, DDNS
and the time server.
When the ZyWALL needs to resolve a domain name, it checks it against the
name server record entries in the order that they appear in this list.
A “*” indicates a name server record without a domain zone. The default record
is grayed out. The ZyWALL uses this default record if the domain name that
needs to be resolved does not match any of the other name server records.
# This is the index number of the name server record.
Domain Zone A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host. For example,
zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified
domain name.
From This field displays whether the IP address of a DNS server is from a WAN
interface (and which it is) or specified by the user.
