A DNS resolver translates domain names back into IP addresses. You can configure the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall to either use its own internal DNS proxy to resolve domain names or specify an external server to use. The default behavior is to use the internal DNS server, unless one has been specified during installation (see Software Installation). |
