after all the configured suffixes are used respectively, the original domain name
(for example, aabbcc) is used for query.
z
If there is a dot in the domain name (for example, www.aabbcc), the resolver will
directly use this domain name for query. If the query fails, the resolver adds a DNS
suffix for another query.
z
If the dot is at the end of the domain name (for example, aabbcc.com.), the
resolver will consider it a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and return the query
result, a success or failure. Hence, the dot “.” at the end of the domain name is
called the terminating symbol.
Currently, the device supports static and dynamic DNS services.
Note:
If an alias is configured for a domain name on the DNS server, the device can resolve
the alias into the IP address of the host.
