DNS SERVER
Domain Name System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names
into IP addresses and vice versa. The gateway's DNS server is an auto-learning
DNS, which means that when a new computer is connected to the network the
DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table. Other
network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its
name or its IP address.
In addition your gateway's DNS:
Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the
DHCP server.
Supports multiple sub-nets within the LAN simultaneously.
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using Router's
WBM.
Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (needed if a host has multiple net-
work cards).
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view
the list of computers known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a
computer on the list, or manually add a new computer to the list.
