Authorities DNS is just a fancy term for the official IP address keeper/provider of particular Domain (or Internet)

name, such as www.example.com is analogous to a telephone book where a person’s name is associated

with his telephone number. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a good general discussion of DNS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

.

This IN-BOUND ROUTER DNS server contains the names and Internet addresses of servers that you wish to

host. In order for all DNS requests of your domain names to be ultimately routed to your IN-BOUND

ROUTER, it has to be setup at the registrar of your Internet name. In general, logon to your registrar site, and

manage your domain name. For example, www.example.com is located at a WEB hosting company, and the

original Domain server was registered in listed order:

NS0.DNSMADEEASY.COM NS1.DNSMADEEASY.COM NS2.DNSMADEEASY.COM

NS3.DNSMADEEASY.COM NS4.DNSMADEEASY.COM

We need to change www.example.com to be hosted by IN-BOUND ROUTER; so we follow the registrar’s

instructions and delete: NS2, NS3, and NS4, and assign Domain server:

Name

IP address

NS0.EXAMPLE.COM WAN1

NS1.EXAMPLE.COM WAN2

The name is arbitrary; the most important are about the IP addresses. It is absolutely necessary for WAN1

to be a static address, and for redundant, fault-tolerant accesses, WAN2 should also be a static address. It

would take approximately 24 – 48 hours for this change to take effect throughout the Internet. Below is the

actual display of godaddy for Name Servers:

All registrars have the same basic name server

facility. For www.example.com, we use

godaddy.com, and the process is: Login Manage

domain Set Name Servers. We enter WAN1 and

WAN2 for Custom Name Servers.
