PePLink Balance Series v4.0 User Manual
13.4 Definition of DNS Records
(This section applies only to PePLink Balance 200, 300, 380 and 700.)
The built-in DNS Server functionality of PePLink Balance facilitates inbound load balancing.
With the presence of the functionality, NS/SOA DNS records for a domain name can be
delegated to Internet IP address(es) of PePLink Balance. Upon receiving a DNS query,
PePLink Balance supports returning, as an “A” record, the corresponding IP address for the
domain name on the most appropriate healthy WAN connection. It also supports acting as a
generic DNS server for hosting “A”, “CNAME”, “MX”, “TXT” and “NS” records.
For example:
(This example is for illustration only; the actual resolution that takes place in
implementation will likely be different.)
The DNS resolution of the domain name www.mycompany.com is delegated to the
WAN2 Internet IP addresses of PePLink Balance.
Upon receiving the DNS query, PePLink Balance returns, as an “A” record, the IP
address for www.mycompany.com on WAN1 because WAN1 is the most appropriate
healthy link.
The settings for defining the DNS records to be hosted by PePLink Balance are located at
Network > Inbound Access > DNS Settings:
