Multiple DNS entries |
|
|
Baby question on DNS servers.
When you create a network connection, you can specify mutliple DNS servers
to be queried.
Here is the question: Are the multiple DNS servers purely for redundancy
(if 1 isn't available, go to 2, etc).
OR
If the entry you're looking to translate doesn't appear in 1, then go check
2 and so on?
Thanks! |

Hi Kevin
DNS searches your Primary DNS server. If this cannot be contact *OR* no
results are retrieved from this DNS server, it then trys the Secondary One.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Kevin,
It is used in case your primary DNS goes down then secondary server can be
used.
