Figure 5.11 DNS forwarding — a new rule

Use the Reverse DNS query alternative to specify rule for DNS queries on IP addresses in a particular subnet. Subnet is specified by a network address and a corresponding mask (i.e. 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0).

Use the Then forward query to DNS Server(s) field to specify IP address(es) of one or more DNS server(s) to which queries will be forwarded.

If multiple DNS servers are specified, they are considered as primary, secondary, etc.

If the Do not forward option is checked, DNS queries will not be forwarded to any server — WinRoute will search only in the hosts local file or in DHCP tables (see below).

Simple DNS resolution

DNS Forwarder can be used as a simple DNS server, typically for a local domain. If the simple DNS resolution is set, the DNS forwarder attempts to respond to the received DNS query first and it does not forward it to another DNS server unless unsuccessful.
