Click Add in the System screen to open this screen. Use this screen to add an address record.

An address record contains the mapping of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to an IP 
address. Configure address records about the ZyWALL itself or another device to keep a 
record of DNS names and addresses that people on your network may use frequently. If the 
ZyWALL receives a DNS query for an FQDN for which the ZyWALL has an address record, 
the ZyWALL can send the IP address in a DNS response without having to query a DNS name 
server. See 

 for more on address records.
