ENHANCEMENTS
AccessDirect
General Settings and Networking
Supporting DNS server redundancy for every virtual site (ID: 54513&52539)
Previously, if a virtual site was configured to use the custom DNS settings to resolve
the DNS query, the system could use only the virtual site’s DNS server with the
highest priority to resolve the DNS query. The earlier the DNS server is configured
for the virtual site, the higher the priority of the DNS server will be.
AG now supports the DNS server redundancy function for every virtual site. This
function must be enabled or disabled globally for every virtual site. When this
function is enabled, if a virtual site is configured to use the custom DNS settings to
resolve the DNS query, the system will first try to use the virtual site’s DNS server
with the highest priority to resolve the DNS query; if this DNS server fails to resolve
the DNS query, the system will then try to use the virtual site’s DNS server with the
second highest priority to resolve the DNS query; if the second DNS server still fails
to resolve the DNS query, the system at last will try to use the virtual site’s DNS
server with the lowest priority to resolve the DNS query. By default, this function is
disabled and only the virtual site’s DNS server with the highest priority can be used
to resolve the DNS query.
To support this function, the following command is added:
ip dns serverredundancy {on|off}
This global command is used to enable or disable the DNS server redundancy function for
every virtual site.
For details, please refer to the ArrayOS AG 9.3 CLI Handbook and User Guide.
