from the local host to the Internet, the packet will be dropped by the operating system
before the WinRoute driver is able to capture it.
2. Typically the server is represented by the DNS name within traffic between clients and an
Internet server. Therefore, the first packet sent by a client is represented by the DNS query
that is intended to resolve a host name to an IP address.
In this example, the DNS server is the WinRoute host (this is very common) and the Internet
line is disconnected. A client’s request on this DNS server is traffic within the local network
and, therefore, it will not result in dialing the line. If the DNS server does not have the
appropriate entry in the cache , it must forward the request to another server on the
Internet. The packet is forwarded to the Internet by the local DNS client that is run at
the WinRoute host. This packet cannot be held and it will not cause dialing of the line.
Therefore, the DNS request cannot be answered and the traffic cannot continue.
For these reasons, the WinRoute’s DNS module enables automatic dialing (if the DNS server
cannot respond to the request itself). This feature is bound to on-demand dialing.
Note: If the DNS server is located on another host within the local network or clients
within the local network use an Internet DNS server, then the limitation is irrelevant and
the dialing will be available. If clients’ DNS server is located on the Internet, the line will
be dialed upon a client’s DNS query. If a local DNS server is used, the line will be dialed
upon a query sent by this server to the Internet (the default gateway of the host where the
DNS server is running must be set to the IP address of the WinRoute host).
3. It can be easily understood through the last point that if the DNS server is to be running
at the WinRoute host, it must be represented by the DNS module because it can dial the
line if necessary.
If there is a domain based on Active Directory in the LAN (domain server with Windows
Server 2000/2003/2008 ), it is necessary to use Microsoft DNS server, because communica-
tion with Active Directory uses special types of DNS request. Microsoft DNS server does
not support automatic dialing. Moreover, it cannot be used at the same host as the DNS
module as it would cause collision of ports.
As understood from the facts above, if the Internet connection is to be available via dial-
up, WinRoute cannot be used at the same host where Windows Server with Active Directory
and Microsoft DNS are running.
4. If the DNS module is used, WinRoute can dial as a response to a client’s request if the
following conditions are met:
• Destination server must be defined by DNS name so that the application can create
a DNS query.
• In the operating system, set the primary DNS server to the IP address of the fire-
wall). In Windows , go to TCP/IP properties in interfaces connected to the LAN and
set the IP address of this interface as the primary DNS server.
