The parameters associated with the internet domain name system (DNS)
function are modified in the Terminal Server database by this privileged
command.
domain
Specifies the containing domain name of the Terminal Server. Whenever a
relative name is searched for, the DNS first searches for this name. Upon
failure DNS concatenates the string specified by this parameter to the name
and retries the search.
Relative and absolute domain names
An absolute domain name is denoted by a trailing “.” whereas any other
form denotes a relative name. For example, Gong.Foo. is an absolute name
which will be searched for literally: Chin.Ho.COM is a relative name.
MODE
Specifies the order in which resources will be searched to resolve IP names:
In LOCAL mode, the Terminal Server searches for internet addresses in its
own DNS HOSTS table for data entered through previous command(s). In
REMOTE mode, the Terminal Server attempts to resolve the name by
querying the name server(s) specified by the command(s).
In ORDERED mode, the Terminal Server first queries user entered data
from the HOSTS DNS table. If the name is not found in the DNS local
HOSTS table, the Terminal Server then queries the name server(s).
ORDERED is the default mode.
RETRY LIMIT value
Specifies the maximum number of times DNS will query the same name
server. The allowable range is 1-5. The default value is 3.
