In-Depth Information
As in previous recipes in this chapter,
InterfaceName
is a required value that must match
the name of the interface as specified in Network Properties.
To enable or disable the DNS proxy on a particular interface, use this command:
> netsh routing ip dnsproxy set interface name=
<InterfaceName
[[mode=]{enable | disable | default}
If you set the
mode
to a value of
default
, it will use the global setting (
enabled
or
disabled
)
of the DNS proxy as specified in the
netsh routing ip dnsproxy set global
command shown
earlier in this recipe.
How It Works
The DNS proxy is not a DNS server. Rather, when a client on the LAN cannot resolve a host
name, the DNS proxy will relay the request to the DNS server specified in the server's network
properties.
If you are running Active Directory, you are already running DNS Server on the domain.
You are probably using the root hints or have configured forwarders for nonlocal name resolu-
tion. If that is the case, you do not need to configure the DNS proxy on the router; the exception
is if there are devices on your local network that do not look to the server's DNS server for name
resolution.
