service), cache (for faster responses to repeated
requests) and simple DNS names resolver are enabled in
WinRoute
.
The configuration can be fine-tuned in

DNS settings
Enable DNS forwarder
This option enables DNS server in
WinRoute
. Without other configuration, any DNS re-
quests are forwarded to DNS servers on the corresponding Internet interface.
If the
DNS forwarder
service is disabled, the
DNS
module is used only as a
WinRoute’s
DNS resolver.
Warning
If
DNS forwarder
is not used for your network configuration, it can be switched off. If
you want to run another DNS server on the same host,
DNS forwarder must
be disabled,
otherwise collision might occur at the DNS service’s port (
53/UDP
).
Enable cache for faster response of repeated queries
If this option is on, all responses will be stored in local
DNS
cache. Responses to repeated
queries will be much faster (the same query sent by various clients is also considered as
a repeated query).
Physically, the DNS cache is kept in RAM. However, all DNS records are also saved in the
DnsCache.cfg
file (see chapter
). This means that records in DNS cache are kept
even after
WinRoute Firewall Engine
is stopped or the firewall is closed.
