Name Resolution

Regardless of the DNS service is being executed or not in this server, you can configure the server to handle its DNS requests in another server. You can apply this configuration to all server services (with the obvious exception of the DNS server which uses its forwarders for requests he does not know). In order to make the server use its own DNS you have to configure the IP address of the localhost7.10, 127.0.0.1 - by the way, its the default configuration. (Figure 7.42).

Note that if IPBrick is not resolving in its own DNS service and if we dont have machines using IPBrick as DNS server or as a forwarder, the service is not being used at all. In that case all zones presented at DNS - Domains submenu may even be deleted;
