14.2.1 Adding an Address Record
Click Add in the System screen to open this screen. Use this screen to add an address record.
An address record contains the mapping of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to an IP
address. Configure address records about the LAN-Cell itself or another device to keep a
record of DNS names and addresses that people on your network may use frequently. If the
LAN-Cell receives a DNS query for an FQDN for which the LAN-Cell has an address record,
the LAN-Cell can send the IP address in a DNS response without having to query a DNS name
server. See Section on page 308 for more on address records.
