This window configures the filer for Domain Name Service (DNS). After you make a change, click the Save Changes button to save the changes to the filer. To view the changes that you made, click the View Changes button. To reload the current settings from the filer, click the Reload button.
The filer includes DNS client capabilities. This means that it can query DNS servers for host-name-to-IP-address and IP-address-to-host-name translation services. With DNS enabled, you no longer have to update the filer /etc/hosts file every time a new host is added to the network. However, if you specify that the filer searches the local file first, you still have to update the /etc/hosts file .
To prevent naming inconsistencies, when DNS is enabled, keep a minimum number of entries in the /etc/hosts file.
If you enable DNS, specify the DNS domain name and up to three IP addresses of domain name servers in this window.
