DNS Proxy and Caching Behavior
Please note, DNS Proxying is a standard Netopia router feature. This feature operates transparently with no
configuration required.
If the Netopia R310's DNS is 0.0.0.0 the router serves itself as the DNS to DHCP client workstations that are
configured to acquire their IP addresses dynamically. If the router obtains a valid DNS supplied by the ISP, it
does one of two things:
■ either it forwards all DNS requests it receives to its DNS and remaps them when the response is received,
or
■ it constructs a DNS response if it finds the mapping in its own DNS cache.
This ensures that DHCP clients of the Netopia R310 will be able to use DNS as soon as the NetopiaR310 is
able to do so.
If the Netopia R310 is rebooted in a state wherein its DNS is non-zero, then the router will thereafter seed its
DHCP clients with the router’s DNS.
If for any reason you want to use the Netopia R310's DNS proxy feature all the time, then you manually
configure your client workstations’ IP stack so that your DNS is the Netopia R310.
