The Domain Naming System (DNS) provides a service that translates domain names into IP addresses
and vice versa. The Adit’s DNS server is an auto-learning DNS, which means that when a new computer
is connected to the network, the DNS server learns its name and automatically adds it to the DNS table.
Other network users may immediately communicate with this computer using either its name or its IP
address.
Additional features of the Adit’s DNS:
Shares a common database of domain names/IP addresses with the DHCP server
Supports multiple subnets within the LAN simultaneously
Automatically appends a domain name to unqualified names
Allows new domain names to be added to the database using the Adit’s
Web-based Management
Permits a computer to have multiple host names
Permits a host name to have multiple IPs (if a host has multiple network cards)
The DNS server does not require configuration. However, you may wish to view the list of computers
known by the DNS, edit the host name or IP address of a computer on the list, or manually add a new
computer to the list.
