The security gateway includes a DNS name server, and accepts DNS queries from devices on the private side. DHCP devices on the private side receive access to the DNS service automatically. Non-DHCP devices must be manually configured to identify the security gateway as their DNS server. The security gateway server maintains a DNS database on all DHCP clients on the private interface. Non-DHCP clients have no DNS identity.

Note:

The security gateway performs DNS relay functionality only for the private zone.

To resolve DNS queries, the security gateway first consults its own database. If this is unsuccessful, the query is forwarded through the public interface. If DNS Relay Configuration domain entries exist, the security gateway tries to find the match of the DNS request domain with the entries’ domains. If a match is found, the security gateway only forwards the query to name servers associated with that domain. If no match occurs, the security gateway sequentially forwards the query to the specified static DNS servers. If no static DNS servers exist, queries go to Internet name servers. Note that once static DNS servers are added, Internet root name servers are no longer referenced.
