Configure Local DNS Servers on the VA
You can configure the VA to send queries for local domains to any local DNS server. You can also selectively forward DNS queries for specific local domains to specific local DNS servers.
Use the following commands to configure the VA to send queries for local domains to local DNS servers:
| Task | Command | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Configure up to 6 local DNS servers | config localdns add <ip> | The command must be entered individually for each local DNS server. The command does not take multiple IP inputs. |
| Remove a configured local DNS server | config localdns remove <ip> | |
| Add a local DNS server and assign specific internal domains to this server | config localdns add <ip of local DNS server><domain1>\\<domain2...domainN> | Add Internal domains to Secure Access. Requests for other internal domains will not be forwarded to these local DNS servers. |
| Show the list of internal DNS servers and any domain mappings against these servers | config localdns show |
|
If you are assigning specific domains to specific local DNS servers, be sure to add at least one local DNS server with no domain assignment so that it can support queries for all other internal domains.
