Manage Domains in the VA

Any DNS queries received by the VAs which match a domain on the Internal Domains list, will be forwarded to the local DNS server as described in Configure Virtual Appliances.

The following domains/zones are pre-populated and do not need to be added:

  • RFC1918 —non-publicly routable address spaces used only for reverse DNS on internal networks. All local IP address space for reverse lookups (PTR records) is covered with this entry. Adding in-addr.arpa reverse lookup zones are not needed.
  • .local —Any domain name with a TLD of .local.

You have a choice of what type of identities are set to respect these internal domains:

  • All Sites—Covers all requests that are made through a VA.
  • Sites listed under All Sites—Covers requests only made through VAs deployed in the selected sites.
  • All Devices—Covers all requests that are made through a roaming device.
