DNS Client
The DNS client provides a method for retrieving a list of IP addresses for a host name as well as acquiring the
host name for a given IP address. The DNS client will cache any results from the name server which reduces
network traffic.
1. Enter the DNS Servers by entering the IP address in the field next to the Add button.
2. Click on
Add
.
More than one DNS Server may be added.
An alternative is to create a domain search list. The DNS Client uses this list when a user asks for the IP
address list for an incomplete domain name. There may be up to a maximum of 6 incomplete domain names
in the search list.
Enter the domain name and click on
Add
to add it to the list.
