About the Server<br />

Configuration tab<br />

Configuring hosted DNS servers<br />

This window allows you to define alternate name servers that will be<br />

contacted if a query cannot be resolved by the selected name server.<br />

The alternate name servers are called forwarders. This window is also<br />

used to define advanced configuration settings for the name server. To<br />

modify the Server Configuration tab, follow the steps below.<br />

Note: To completely reconfigure your DNS settings (for example, change from <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

hosted single server to split server), click Reconfigure DNS.<br />

1. In the Modify Server For field, select the name server that you want to<br />

modify.<br />

Note: The File Directory displays the name and location <strong>of</strong> the files used to store<br />

information about this server. This field cannot be modified.<br />

2. In the Do Forwarding field, specify whether the name server will forward<br />

unresolvable queries to another name server. In a split DNS<br />

configuration, when modifying the unbound name server this field will<br />

default to Yes and will forward unresolved queries to the Internet server<br />

(127.x.0.1, where x = the external [or Internet] burb number).<br />

3. In the Forward Only field, specify whether the name server will<br />

immediately forward an unresolvable query to the names servers listed<br />

in the Forward To list. If you select No, the name server will attempt to<br />

contact the root server to resolve the query before contacting one <strong>of</strong><br />

the alternate name servers. The default value is Yes.<br />
