Use the Query Type setting to select the method to use for the DNS query:

URL name of the server (By Name)

P address of the server (By IP)

Mail Exchange used by the server (By MX)

Use the Query Question text field to specify the value to be used for the selected Query Type:

For Name, specify the URL.

For IP, specify the IP address.

For MX, specify the Mail Exchange address.

Use DNS Server to Query to select whether you want to query the Primary DNS Server or the Secondary DNS Server.
