DNS Settings
The DNS settings section allows the administrator to specify a Primary DNS Server,
Secondary DNS Server (optional) and DNS Domain (optional). The Primary DNS Server is
required.
For SRA appliances supporting connections from Apple iPhones, iPads, or other iOS devices
using Dell SonicWALL Mobile Connect, the DNS Domain is a required field. This DNS domain
is set on the VPN interface of the iPhone/iPad after the device makes a connection to the
appliance. When the mobile device user accesses a URL, iOS determines if the domain
matches the VPN interface’s domain, and if so, uses the VPN interface’s DNS server to resolve
the hostname lookup. Otherwise, the Wi-Fi or 3G DNS server is used, which will not be able to
resolve hosts within the company intranet.
WINS Settings
The WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) settings section allows the administrator to specify
the primary WINS server and secondary WINS server (both optional).
Configuring Hostname Settings
To configure a hostname, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Navigate to the Network > DNS page.
Step 2 In the Hostname region, type a hostname for the SRA appliance in the SRA Gateway
Hostname field.
Step 3 Click Accept.
Configuring DNS Settings
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is required to allow your SRA appliance to resolve host names
and URL names with a corresponding IP address. This enables your SRA appliance to connect
to hosts or sites using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
To configure a DNS server, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Navigate to the Network > DNS page.
Step 2 In the DNS Settings region, type the address of the primary DNS server in the Primary DNS
Server field.
Step 3 An optional secondary address can be provided in the Secondary DNS Server (optional) field.
Step 4 Optionally, use the DNS Search List field to create a pool of domain names:
a. Type the domain suffix in the Domain Search List and click Add. The suffix will be
appended with the host name to make a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), which will
be used in host resolution.
b. To remove a DNS suffix, select the domain suffix from the list and click Remove.
c. Use the up and down arrow keys to arrange the DNS domain suffixes in the order that will
be used to resolve host names.
