options.<br />

How to Configure DNS Query Settings<br />

In the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box, you can also configure the way suffixes<br />

are added to queries.<br />

Append Primary And Connection Specific DNS Suffixes Option<br />

By default, the Append Primary And Connection Specific DNS Suffixes option (refer to<br />

Figure 13-14) is selected. This option causes the DNS resolver to append the client<br />

name to the primary domain name, as well as the domain name defined in the DNS<br />

Domain Name field of each network connection. The resolver then queries for that<br />

FQDN. If this query fails and you have specified a connection-specific DNS suffix in<br />

the DNS Suffix For This Connection text box, it causes the DNS resolver to append the<br />

client name to the name you specified there.<br />

For example, assume that an organization’s domain name is contoso.com. Querying for<br />

the FQDN of a specific computer in the domain (say, client1.contoso.com) would<br />

resolve that computer’s IP address. If you were to configure the contoso.com suffix to<br />

be appended to queries, a user could query for an unqualified name (for example, by<br />

typing client1 into the Internet Explorer address box). The computer would automatically<br />

append the suffix contoso.com to the query, creating the FQDN client1.contoso.com.<br />

If a DHCP server configures this connection, and you do not specify a DNS suffix, a<br />

DNS suffix for the connection is assigned by an appropriately configured DHCP server.<br />

If you specify a DNS suffix, it is used instead of one assigned by a DHCP server.
