Configuring DNS Settings for Service Domains

To enable the Dynamic DNS services, you must configure the DNS settings.

To configure the DNS settings:

1. Go to Service Domain > Settings.

   The Settings page opens and shows the General tab.

2. Click DNS.

   The DNS fields show:

3. For Domain Suffix, enter the DNS suffix for the SMP domain registration.

4. For Dynamic IP Time to Live, enter the number of seconds that a dynamic IP address remains in the DNS server's cache after resolution. A longer time reduces the load on the server. A shorter time makes sure there is less downtime when you change IP addresses.

5. For Static IP Time to Live, enter the number of seconds that a static IP address remains in the DNS server cache after resolution. Static IP addresses include gateways configured with static IP addresses and mail servers (MX records). A longer time reduces the load on the server.

   Note - This is the DNS server for the SMP. It is not the DNS server that is used for Dynamic DNS.

6. Click Save.
