DNS
Several FortiGate functions, including Alert E-mail and URL blocking, use DNS. You
can add the IP addresses of the DNS servers to which your FortiGate unit can
connect. DNS server IP addresses are usually supplied by your ISP.
You can configure primary and secondary DNS server addresses, or you can
configure the FortiGate unit to obtain DNS server addresses automatically. To obtain
addresses automatically, at least one interface must use the DHCP or PPPoE
addressing mode. See
“DHCP” on page 48
. See
“PPPoE” on page 49
.
If you enable DNS Forwarding on an interface, hosts on the attached network can use
the interface IP address as their DNS server. DNS requests sent to the interface are
forwarded to the DNS server addresses you configured or that the FortiGate unit
obtained automatically.
