Configuring DNS Server(s)
You can configure the DNS settings for your IronPort appliance using the 
Network > DNS page or using the 
dnsconfig
 command. Before you configure 
DNS, consider the following:
  •
Whether to use the Internet’s DNS servers or your own, and which specific 
server(s) to use.
  •
Which routing table to use for DNS traffic. 
You must use the routing table associated with the interface that faces the 
DNS server, either Data or Management. 
  •
The number of seconds to wait before timing out a reverse DNS lookup.
  •
Clearing the DNS cache.
Specifying DNS Servers
IronPort AsyncOS can use the Internet root DNS servers, your own DNS servers, 
or the Internet root DNS servers and authoritative DNS servers that you specify. 
When using the Internet root servers, you can specify alternate servers to use for 
specific domains. Since an alternate DNS server applies to a single domain, it 
must be authoritative (provide definitive DNS records) for that domain.

Please enter the hostname of your relay host. You may put a colon 
after the hostname to indicate a port to use other than 25, such as 
“smtp.example.com:547”.
