The Router’s DNS also provides the following services:
• Shares a common database of domain names and IP addresses with the
DHCP server.
• Supports multiple subnets within the local network simultaneously.
• Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names.
• Allows new domain names to be added to the database using the
MegaControl Panel.
• Permits a computer to have multiple host names.
• Permits a host name to have multiple IP s (needed if a host has multiple net-
work cards).
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, the list of computers
known by the DNS can be viewed, the host name or IP address of a computer on
the list can be changed, or a new computer can be added to the list.
