DNS and domain names configuration
The DNSDomain Name Server page is used to set a host name for your Exinda appliance and to configure the location of your DNS server(s). You can also configure domain names that can be used to resolve hostnames in other configuration screens.
The Exinda appliance hostname should be unique on the network. The DNS server setting may be dynamic, configured by the DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol server, or it could be configured by entering one or more IPInternet protocol addresses of your DNS server(s).
NOTE
A valid DNS server is required for Edge Cache, system alerts, scheduled reports, firmware updates, license updates, and Anonymous Proxy updates
