DNS (Domain Name System) is the system by which hostnames and domain names are resolved to IP addresses and other critical domain-based infrastructure is defined. In order for domain-based services to function properly, it is critical to have a properly configured DNS server.
BlueOnyx utilizes the world's most widely used DNS server software known as BIND. The BlueOnyx GUI includes a management interface to bring simplicity and ease-of-use to this highly-complex system.
The DNS Management page presents two Edit buttons: one for primary services and another for secondary. In addition, there are 4 sub-tabs to assist in managing operational aspects of the DNS server which are split into these sections:
- Basic
- Advanced
- Zone Format
- Auto DNS
