DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Configuration and Management 91
DNS Configuration
The DI-1162 router has a built in recursive DNS server. The maximum
amount of memory that will be used by the router’s Domain Name
Server is 64Kb which averages out to be about 800 entries. In other
words, up to 800 domain names and their associated IP Addresses can
be stored, which can significantly speed up access to those domains.
The routers DNS table will age out about every 24 hours, ensuring that
the most frequently accessed domains consistently benefit from the
improved access times provided by using the routers own DNS.
The IP Addresses for domain names not stored in the router must be
acquired from a DNS server on the Internet. Thus, if you are using
DNS, make sure you also specify an IP Address to a DNS server in the
Forward DNS queries to field.
The items in the above submenu are described as follows:
