The Terminal Server may access a DNS (Domain Name Server) in order to
translate IP host names into IP addresses. This allows users to refer to hosts by
their names rather than by their addresses, while avoiding the need to update
the Host Table in each and every Terminal Server. For example:
1. Local> DEFINE INTERNET NAME RESOLUTION DOMAIN machine.test.com
2. Local> DEFINE INTERNET NAMESERVER sample ADDRESS 222.223.224.225
Figure 4-6. DNS Server Setup.
Step 1: Defines the Domain Name
Statement 1 defines the
domain name
in which the Terminal Server is
operating. This allows users to specify the default relative host name (when
referring to an address within the defined domain) and to omit the domain
name from each specific request.
Step 2: Defines the DNS Address
Statement 2 defines the specific IP address of the remote DNS server itself
(222.223.224.225 in the abov e example). It also specifies the DNS server
name to be
sample
(largely for display purposes). The Terminal Server can
hold 20 addresses in its built-in Host Table. If this table contains data, the
Terminal Server will first search it for name resolution before querying the
DNS server.
