DNS/WINS Filter Pairs
The DNS or WINS servers specified as part of the Basic Setup of each 700wl Series system component
are used by the 700wl Series system for doing address resolution for its own needs. In addition, by
default, the primary DNS or WINS servers are used as the destination of the predefined DNS and WINS
redirects. When a client sends an address resolution request, by default it is redirected to the primary
DNS or WINS server.
The DNS/WINS Filter feature lets you specify additional DNS or WINS servers, and create Allowed
Traffic/Redirected Traffic filter pairs for those server destinations. The Redirected Traffic member of the
pair redirects any DNS or WINS requests with unknown server destinations to (one of) the specified
DNS or WINS servers. The Allowed Traffic member of the pair forwards a DNS or WINS request that
has the specified server as the destination. You can specify multiple DNS or WINS servers, and then use
those servers in the Allowed or Redirected Traffic filters. In a Redirect Traffic filter with multiple
servers, you can specify that the Rights Manager should select the destination address at random from
its list of servers, or that it should always redirect to a single server.
The Allowed and Redirected Traffic members of a DNS or WINS filter pair are created together in a
single operation. Once created, they appear together with the other Allowed Traffic Filters or Redirected
Traffic Filters under the Allowed Traffic/Redirected Traffic tabs available when you are creating or
editing an Access Policy.
