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.
