The Domain Name Service (DNS) host IP address allows the freeGuard
Blaze 2100 to resolve or match domain names to IP addresses. You must
specify a DNS host in order to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
Use the
set dns
command to configure one DNS host IP address for the
appliance:
set dns host {host} {dns1|dns2}
You can configure additional DNS host IP addresses as necessary.
