Reconfiguring DNS
This window allows you to reconfigure your DNS settings to use hosted split
server DNS services. Follow the steps below.
1 In the New DNS Configuration drop-down list, select Sidewinder Hosted.
2 Select the 2 Server radio button.
3 To configure the Unbound server, do the following:
a In the Domain field, verify that the correct domain name appears.
b In the Authority field, select one of the following options:
• Master: Select this option if the server you are defining will be a
master name server. A master name server contains name and
address information for every computer within its zone.
• Slave: Select this option if the server you are defining will be a slave
name server. A slave name server is similar to a master name
server, except that it does not maintain its own original data. Instead,
it downloads data from another name server.
c [Conditional] If you selected Slave in the previous step, type the IP
address of the master authority server in the Master IP field.
4 To configure the Internet server, do the following:
a In the Domain field, verify that the correct domain name appears.

• Master—Select this option if the server you are defining will be a
master name server. A master name server contains name and
address information for every computer within its zone.

name server. A slave name server is similar to a master name
server, except that it does not maintain its own original data. Instead,
it downloads data from another name server.
c [Conditional] If you selected Slave in the previous step, type the IP
address of the master authority server in the Master IP field.
5 Click the Save icon in the toolbar to reconfigure your DNS settings. You will
receive a pop-up message informing you whether the reconfiguration was
successful.
