Dynamic domain name resolution configuration example Network requirements As shown in Figure 37, the device wants to access the host by using an easy-to-remember domain name rather than an IP address, and to request the DNS server on the network for an IP address by using dynamic domain name resolution. The IP address of the DNS server is 2.1.1.2/16 and the DNS server has a com domain, which stores the mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16. Configure dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix com on the device that serves as a DNS client so that the device can use domain name host to access the host with the domain name host.com and the IP address 3.1.1.1/16. Figure 37 Network diagram Configuration procedure Before performing the following configuration, make sure that the device and the host are accessible to each other via available routes, and that the IP addresses of the interfaces are configured as shown Figure 37. This configuration may vary with DNS servers. The following configuration is performed on a PC running Windows Server 2000. 1. Configure the DNS server: a. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DNS. The DNS server configuration page appears, as shown in Figure 38. b. Right click Forward Lookup Zones, select New Zone, and then follow the steps to create a new zone named com. 66

Dynamic domain name resolution configuration
example
Network requirements
As shown in
Figure 37
, the device wants to access the host by using an easy-to-remember domain name
rather than an IP address, and to request the DNS server on the network for an IP address by using
dynamic domain name resolution. The IP address of the DNS server is 2.1.1.2/16 and the DNS server has
a com domain, which stores the mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16.
Configure dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix com on the device that serves
as a DNS client so that the device can use domain name host to access the host with the domain name
host.com and the IP address 3.1.1.1/16.

Configuration procedure
Before performing the following configuration, make sure that the device and the host are accessible to
each other via available routes, and that the IP addresses of the interfaces are configured as
shown
Figure 37
.
This configuration may vary with DNS servers. The following configuration is performed on a PC running
Windows Server 2000.
1.
Configure the DNS server:
a.
Select
