internal DNS resolution

Is it possible for the R8000 router to forward DNS lookup requests to an internal server?  I want a host name to resolve differently internally vs externally.

 

From what I can tell, the R8000 always sends the router IP as the primary DNS server to DHCP clients rather than ips configured in the "Use these DNS servers" section.  And when I configure an internal IP as the primary DNS server there, it appears no DNS queries are forwarded there.

Hi @jeremystitt,


Welcome to Community!

 

It is possible if there is another DHCP server in the network that will manage all the IP and DNS. If there is another DHCP server then you can disable the DHCP of the router.
