The wildcard character “*” is supported. The IP addresses of

*.domain.name" will be

returned for every name ending with "

.domain.name" except names that have their own

records.

TTL

This setting specifies the time to live of this record in external DNS caches.

In order to reflect any dynamic changes on the IP addresses in case of link failure and

recovery, this value should be set to a smaller value. E.g. 5 secs, 60 secs, etc.

Priority

This option specifies the priority of different connections.

Select the Default option to apply the Default Connection Priority (refer to the table

shown on the main DNS Settings page) to an A record. To customize priorities, choose

the Custom option and a priority selection table will be shown at the bottom.

Included IP

Address (es)

This setting specifies lists of WAN-specific Internet IP addresses that are candidates to be

returned when Peplink Balance responds to DNS queries for the domain name specified by

Host Name.

The IP addresses listed in each box asdefault are the Internet IP addresses associated

with each of the WAN connections. Static IP addresses that are not associated with any

WAN c

an be entered into the Custom IP list. A PTR record is also created for each Custom

IP’s.

For WAN connections that operate under Drop-in mode, there may be other routable IP

addresses in addition to the default IP address.Therefore, Peplink Balance allows custom

Internet IP addresses to be added manually via filling the text box on the right-hand side

and clicking the button.

Only the checked IP addresses in the listsare candidates to be returned when responding

to a DNS query.

In case of a WAN connection is down, the corresponding set of IP addresses will not be

returned. However, the IP addresses in the Custom IP field will always be returned.

If the Connection Priority field is set to Custom, you can also specify the priority of the use

of each WAN connection. Only selected IP address(es) of available connection(s) with the

highest priority, and also Custom IP addresses will be returned. By default, the Connection

Priority is set to Default.
