5.13 DNS Proxy
ADVANCED SETUP > DNS PROXY
The Domain Name Service is a system designed to allow the identification of
Internet servers to be based on names rather than IP addresses. Because Internet
communication is based on IP addresses, all names must be translated into an IP
address.
The 6401 Rugged Router has a built-in DNS proxy that can take DNS queries
from devices on the local network and forward them to the 6401 Router, which in
turn asks the DNS Servers provided by the ISP.
By default the DNS Proxy is enabled and 6401 Router will forward all requests to
the servers detected by the operating system (usually assigned by your ISP).
Alternatively you can choose to forward DNS queries to specified servers.
On entering the option the following page is displayed.
Select DNS Proxy Configuration – Configure a specific server.
