configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in order to

 

 

access it.

 

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding

 

IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without

 

it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The

 

ZyWALL uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve

 

domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.
