KwikNet System Configuration
DNS Client Parameters (continued)
Include DNS Client
If your application needs access to Domain Name System services on interconnected
networks, check this box. Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
Operating Mode
The KwikNet DNS Client will operate in either non-blocking mode or blocking mode.
Check the radio button to select the mode in which your application expects to operate
when using DNS services.
Number of Cache Entries
The
KwikNet DNS Client maintains a list of the domain names which your application has
queried. This parameter defines the maximum number of domain names which you wish
the DNS Client to cache. The larger you make this parameter, the more memory will be
allocated for caching.
Number of Retries
This parameter defines the number of extra attempts which the DNS Client will make to
acquire the IP address for a particular domain name before declaring failure.
Retry Timeout
This parameter defines the number of seconds which the DNS Client will wait for a
response to a DNS query. If no response is received within this timeout period, the DNS
Client resends its query. This process repeats up to the maximum number of retries
which you have specified.
