Chapter 6 Server server addresses you enter when you set up DHCP are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask. DNS Relay The N4100 supports the IPCP (IP Control Protocol) DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature. When this feature is enabled, the N4100 tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the N4100, the N4100 acts as a DNS proxy and forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer. Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses in the DNS server fields. N4100 User's Guide 83
