DNS Server for Hostname Resource-Type SmartGroups
This DNS server setting only applies to SmartGroups with the hostname resource type groups, defined under Groups > SmartGroups.
Select either the Gateway’s Management DNS Server or Custom DNS Servers for DNS hostname resolution.
When a DCF rule attempts a DNS match because of the included hostname, the Aviatrix Default DNS server is used to resolve the DNS, unless you configure a custom DNS Server.
To select a DNS server:
-
On the CoPilot Groups > Settings tab, select one of the following on the DNS Server for Hostname Resolution card:
-
Gateway’s Management DNS Server: This is the default DNS server setting. Each gateway has its own configured Gateway Management DNS server. If a gateway is part of a hostname resource-type SmartGroup, it will use the Gateway’s Management DNS Server setting configured in one of the following locations:
-
For Transit, Spoke, or Specialty gateways: Cloud Fabric > Gateways > Transit Gateways, Spoke Gateways, or Specialty Gateways > [gateway name] > Settings > General > Gateway Management DNS Server
-
For UserVPN gateways: Cloud Fabric > UserVPN > [gateway name] > Settings > General.
See Gateway’s DNS Server for more information.

-
Custom DNS Servers: enter one or more custom DNS server addresses (maximum is two) that will be updated for all enforcing gateways.
-
Ensure the correctness of the custom DNS server addresses before saving. Any valid IP address is accepted by this field, even if it is not the IP address of a DNS server. |
