Usage Guidelines

DNS proxy is used to forward DNS requests and reply packets between the DNS client and DNS server. The DNS client sends a DNS request packet to the device on which DNS proxy is enabled. The device sends the request packet to the DNS server and sends the reply packet to the DNS client. The device functions as the DNS proxy to provide services of the DNS server. Users do not need to interact with the DNS server directly. This function simplifies route deployment and improves performance and security of the DNS server.

Example

# Enable DNS proxy.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] dns proxy enable

# Disable DNS proxy.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] undo dns proxy enable
