Dial-in user DNS server assignments
IP addresses for Domain Name System (DNS) servers can be set for users who
dial into the Pipeline via PPP. DNS information is supplied on the basis of these
rules:
First, if Client PRI DNS and Client Sec DNS parameters are specified at the
profile level, these parameters are passed to the user.
Then, if the DNS information is defined in the Ethernet profile, the Pipeline
passes these parameters to the user.
If no client DNS information is defined either at the Connection or Ethernet
profile level, and the parameter ‘Allow As Client DNS’ is set to Yes, the
Pipeline passes the primary and secondary (PRI and SEC) DNS information
defined for the Pipeline. You can prevent the default DNS information of the
Pipeline from being passed to a user when all other IPCP DNS negotiation
fails by setting ‘Allow As Client DNS’ to No.
