DNS Servers
This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses on which the DNS server of the Peplink
Balance should listen.

the Peplink Balance will not respond to DNS requests.

desired WAN connection then select the desired associated IP addresses. (Multiple items in

Zone Transfer
This setting specifies the IP address(es) of the secondary DNS server(s)authorized to
retrieve zone records from the DNS server of the Peplink Balance.
The zone transfer server of the Peplink Balance listens on TCP port 53.
The Peplink Balance serves both the clients that are accessing from the specified IP
addresses, and the clients that are accessing its LAN interface.
Routing Control
by Subnet
Database
When this function is enabled, the system will check to see if an incoming DNS client is
within any WAN's ISP subnet. Only the matched WAN(s)'s IP addresses will be returned.
Note that this feature is available only when a subnet database has been defined.
Default SOA / NS
Click the button to define a default SOA / NS record for all domain names.
When defining a default SOA record, Name Server IP Address is optional. If left blank, the
Address (A) record for the same server should be defined manually in each domain.
For defining default NS records, the host [domain] indicates that this record is for the
domain name itself without a sub-domain prefix. To add a secondary NS server, just create
a second NS record with the Host field left empty. When the entered name server is a fully
qualified domain name (FQDN), the IP Address field will be disabled.
Default
Connection
Priority
Default Connection Priority defines the default priority group of each WAN connection in
resolving A records. It applies to Address (A) records which have the Connection Priority
set to Default. Please refer to Section 17.3.9 for details.
The WAN connection(s) with the highest priority (smallest number) will be chosen. Those
with lower priorities will not be chosen in resolving A records unless the higher priority ones
become unavailable.
To specify the primary and backup connections, click the button that corresponds to
Default Connection Priority. A selection screen screen will appear.
Each WAN connection is associated with a priority number. Click Save to save the settings
when configuration is complete.

domain can have its “NS”, “MX” and “TXT” records, and its sub-domains’ “A” and “CNAME”
records. Add a new record by clicking the New Domain Name button. Click on a domain
name to edit. Press the red X to remove a domain name.
