When a DNS server is selected to send the DNS query, and no response is received within a
short time, another DNS server is selected by continuing the process as described in the
previous paragraph. But if the previous server replies to the DNS query, another DNS server is
not selected, regardless of whether response is positive or negative.

By default, when a DHCP client in the private zone sends requests for an IP address and the

interface IP address as the DNS server in the DHCP response. In this way, all of the DNS
queries are automatically forwarded to the security gateway
