Configuring a List of Commonly Used Internet Hosts
You can optionally enter commonly used Internet host names and addresses in
the access server cache.
The following command shows how to do this:
Local> CHANGE INTERNET HOST SALES ADDRESS 195.1.1.72
Two additional commands enable you to manage the list of commonly used
Internet hosts:
• SHOW/LIST/MONITOR INTERNET HOST
• CLEAR/PURGE INTERNET HOST
If Using a Name Server
If you are using name servers—that is, if NAME RESOLUTION MODE is set to a
value other than LOCAL—then you should define local host names and
addresses only in exceptional cases. The names received from name servers reflect
recent updates.
Also, they may include the hosts you are likely to define with CHANGE
INTERNET HOST. Undesirable conflicts may result.
Configuring a List of Internet Name Servers
This section describes how to configure a list of Internet local and root name
servers that the access server commonly uses.
Configuring a Root Name Server
A root name server is a name server at the top level domain. To enter a root name
server, you must provide an absolute domain name. The following example
shows how to enter a root name server:
Local> CHANGE INTERNET NAMESERVER C.NYSER.NET ADDRESS
192.33.4.12 ROOT
Configuring a Local Name Server
A local name server is any name server that is authoritative for the default
domain of the access server. Before adding a local name server, you must first
define the access server domain name. The following example shows how to enter
a local Internet name server:
Local> CHANGE INTERNET NAMESERV NAMED.ACME.COM ADDRESS
99.99.99.99 LOCAL
