DI-206 ISDN Remote Router
102 Configuration and
Management
•
Lookup Host Table – Enables or disables DNS to reference up to
eight host names defined in the Host Table shown below.
•
DNS Domain Name – The domain name suffix in which the router
resides, to be appended to the host name defined in the host table.
•
Forward DNS queries to – A large server dedicated to resolving
domain names on the Internet. This field should contain the IP
Address for the DNS closest to you.
•
DNS Cache State – When this item is enabled, the router will add
the domain names and IP Addresses it retrieves from DNS replies
to it’s DNS cache.
Host Table
The host table allows the router to recognize host names on the
network. Up to eight host names can be entered in the table. Your
network servers, especially your mail server should be defined here.
Leftover places in the table can be assigned to individual hosts to speed
up routing.
In the example below, the host name “ctsnow” is combined with the
domain name defined in the DNS Configuration submenu above (in
this case, “dlink.com”) to produce “ctsnow.dlink.com”. The mapping in
the example of “ctsnow.dlink.com” to the IP Address of 11.1.1.3 is
only valid for computers which set the DI-206 router as their DNS
server.
