The IP address configured with DNS spoofing is not the actual IP address of the requested domain

name, so the TTL of the DNS reply is set to 0 to prevent the DNS client from generating incorrect
domain name-to-IP address mappings.

3.

Upon receiving the reply, the host sends an HTTP request to the replied IP address.

4.

When forwarding the HTTP request through the dial-up interface, the device establishes a dial-up
connection with the network, and dynamically obtains the DNS server address through DHCP or

other autoconfiguration mechanisms.

5.

When the DNS reply ages out, the host sends a DNS request to the device again.

6.

Then the device operates the same as a DNS proxy. For more information, see "

7.

After obtaining the IP address of the HTTP server, the host can access the HTTP server.

Configuring static domain name resolution

Static domain name resolution allows applications such as Telnet to contact hosts by using host names

instead of IPv4 addresses.
On the public network or a VPN, each host name maps to only one IPv4 address. The most recent

configuration for a host name takes effect.
To configure static domain name resolution:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Configure a mapping between a
host name and an IPv4 address.

ip host host-name ip-address
[ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

By default, no mapping
between a host name and

an IPv4 address is
configured.

Configuring dynamic domain name resolution

To use dynamic domain name resolution, configure DNS servers so that DNS queries can be sent to a
correct server for resolution. A DNS server manually configured takes precedence over the one

dynamically obtained through DHCP, and a DNS server configured earlier takes precedence. A name
