Query domain name

objects
If this option is selected, the firewall will retrieve DNS servers from the DHCP server it
contacts (access provider, for example) to obtain its IP address.
Two objects will be dynamically created in the object database upon the selection of
this option: Firewall_<interface name>_dns1 and Firewall_<interface name_dns2. They
can then be used in the configuration of the DHCP service. So, if the Firewall provides
the users on its network with a DHCP service, the users will also benefit from the DNS
servers given by the access provider.
