Configuring the Model 5390 Server
Setting Configuration Parameters
The name_server_1 and the name_server_2 parameters define the preferred name server and the
order in which to query the name servers. The name server specified with name_server_1 parameter
is the primary name server and is queried first. If the name server host is not available, the Model
5390 server queries the name server specified with name_server_2. Allowable values are dns,
ien_116, or none; the default is none.
The pref_name1_addr and pref_name2_addr parameters define the host’s Internet address that
is providing the name service. The pref_name1_addr is the host’s Internet address specified in
name_server_1. The pref_name2_addr defines the Internet address of the host where the name
server specified with the name_server_2 parameter resides. If name_server_2 is set to none, the
address specifies the second choice for name_server_1. This host is queried if the preferred host
at pref_name1_addr does not respond.
Broadcasting for a Name Server
By default, the Model 5390 server does not broadcast for a name server if the preferred name servers
do not respond. However, you can configure the Model 5390 server to broadcast requests for a name
server by setting the nameserver_broadcast parameter to Y. This causes the Model 5390 server
to broadcast three requests for a Domain Name Server, followed by three requests for an IEN-116
name server. You may want to use broadcast as a back-up for a name server.
