DESCRIPTION
Domain Zone 
A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host. For example, 
zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified 
domain name. For example, whenever the ISG50 receives needs to resolve a 
zyxel.com.tw domain name, it can send a query to the recorded name server IP 
address.
Enter * if all domain zones are served by the specified DNS server(s). 
DNS Server
Select DNS Server(s) from ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server 
information. You also need to select an interface through which the ISP provides 
the DNS server IP address(es). The interface should be activated and set to be a 
DHCP client. The fields below display the (read-only) DNS server IP address(es) 
that the ISP assigns. N/A displays for any DNS server IP address fields for which 
the ISP does not assign an IP address.
Select Public DNS Server if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the 
DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. The ISG50 must be able to 
connect to the DNS server without using a VPN tunnel. The DNS server could be 
on the Internet or one of the ISG50’s local networks. You cannot use 0.0.0.0. 
Use the Query via field to select the interface through which the ISG50 sends 
DNS queries to a DNS server. 
Select Private DNS Server if you have the IP address of a DNS server to which 
the ISG50 connects through a VPN tunnel. Enter the DNS server's IP address in 
the field to the right. You cannot use 0.0.0.0.
