8: DNS Configuration (Optional) 

Overview 

The DNS configuration web pages are setup steps provided for users requiring Inbound Load 

Balance.  

 

 

Domain SOA 

In order to make inbound load balance work, the Multi-WAN VPN Link Balancer incorporates a DNS 
server module. Users must first construct a server behind the LAN side of the Multi-WAN VPN Link 
Balancer. It is also necessary for users to register a domain name with at least two WAN IP addresses 
in the “Domain Name Organization” for Static DNS. 

  

Note:  

Once you have constructed a server and registered a domain name, you can activate Inbound Load 
Balance via the following web page setup:
