DNS address negotiation
PPP address negotiation can also determine the DNS server address. You can configure a device to
allocate the DNS server address to the peer or receive the DNS server address from the peer. Normally,
for a PPP link between a PC and the firewall, the DNS server address is usually allocated by the firewall,
through which the PC can access the Internet directly by using domain names. For a PPP link established
between the firewall and the access server of a carrier, the DNS server address is usually allocated by
the access server, through which the firewall can resolve domain names through the DNS server address
allocated by the access server.
