DNS Server for Hostname Resolution

Select either the Management DNS Server or Custom DNS Servers for hostname resolution. This selection is taken into account if you select the Hostname resource type when creating a SmartGroup.

When a DCF rule attempts a DNS match because of the included hostname, the Aviatrix Default DNS server is used to resolve the DNS, unless you configure a custom DNS Server.

To select a DNS server:

  1. On the CoPilot Groups > Settings tab, select one of the following on the DNS Server for Hostname Resolution card:

    • Gateway’s Management DNS Server: This is the Aviatrix default DNS server.

    • Custom DNS Servers: enter one or more custom DNS server addresses (maximum is two) that will be updated for all enforcing gateways.

Ensure the correctness of the custom DNS server addresses before saving. Any valid IP address is accepted by this field, even if it is not the IP address of a DNS server.

  1. Click Save.
