43.5.7  Domain Zone Forwarder 
A domain zone forwarder contains a DNS server’s IP address. The ZyWALL can query the 
DNS server to resolve domain zones for features like VPN, DDNS and the time server. 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.

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 ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL’s local networks. You cannot use 0.0.0.0.
Select Private DNS Server if you have the IP address of a DNS server to which 
the ZyWALL 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.
