DNS
Server Profile
To simplify configuration for a virtual system, a DNS
server profile allows you to specify the virtual system that is
being configured, an inheritance source or the primary and secondary
IP addresses for DNS servers, and a source interface and source
address (service route) that will be used in packets sent to the
DNS server. The source interface determines the virtual router,
which has a route table. The destination IP address is looked up
in the route table of the virtual router where the source interface
is assigned. It’s possible that the result of the destination IP
egress interface differs from the source interface. The packet would
egress out of the destination IP egress interface determined by
the route table lookup, but the source IP address would be the address
configured. The source address is used as the destination address
in the reply from the DNS server.
The virtual system report and virtual system server profile send
their queries to the DNS server specified for the virtual system,
if there is one. (The DNS server used is defined in .) If there is no
DNS server specified for the virtual system, the DNS server specified for
the firewall is queried.
