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.

 

 

 

 

First DNS Server

Enter the DNS server's IP address(es) in the field(s) to the right.
