Peplink Balance Series

Zone Transfer

This setting specifies the IP address(es) of secondary DNS server(s) that are to be allowed

to retrieve zone records from the DNS server of Peplink Balance.

The zone transfer server of Peplink Balance listens on TCP Port 53.

Peplink Balance serves both the clients that are accessing from the specified IP addresses,

and the clients that are accessing from the LAN Interface (of the Peplink Balance unit).

Default SOA / NS

Click the button to define a default SOA / NS record for all Domain Names. For

Configuration details please refer to section 14.5.2.

For defining a default SOA record, the field 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 empty. When the entered Name Server is a 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 A records which have the Connection Priority set to

Default. Please refer to Section 14.5.6 for the details.

with lower priorities will not be chosen in resolving A records unless the higher priority ones
