DESCRIPTION

Domain Name

Enter the domain name you want to resolve.

 

You can use the wildcard character, an “*” (asterisk) as the left most part

 

of a domain name, such as *.example.com. The P-2812HNU-51c

 

forwards DNS queries for any domain name ending in example.com to

 

the WAN interface specified in this route.

 

 

IP Subnet

Enter the subnet mask for the resolved IP address.

Mask

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.

 

 

This is to specify the size of the network number, which determines the

 

maximum number of possible resolved IP addresses for the same domain

 

name.

 

 

Use Interface

Select a WAN interface through which the matched DNS query is sent.

 

You must have the WAN interface(s) already configured in the WAN

 

screens.
