Use case for harmony Connect IA only for Corporate DNS Servers

Blason_R — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 17:35:37 GMT

Hi Team,

I am looking to deploy a below use case and wondering if that can be possible with Connect IA SKU?

I have around 150 number of users and I have internal DNS filtering solution server set. lets say 10.10.10.100. I need remote users or users working from home should be able to route the DNS traffic to Internal DNS filtering solution so that DNS queries will be filtered.

At this moment I do not want to secure their Internet traffic but wanted only to use corporate DNS feature.

Is this can be achieved?

Please advise!!

TIA

Blason R

Pretty sure Harmony Connect Internet Access requires traffic to be routed to our cloud.
I believe you can exclude certain subnets from being routed to the Internet...so maybe exclude almost everything?

You actually need the RA SKU for that, not the IA.

Configure a Data Center with the Corporate DNS subnet, install a connector etc. and use the HC client only for Corporate Access.

This is right and this is what I was exactly thinking for.

HI.

You will need IA and RA SKU purchased to make it work. Routing DNS requests to internal DNS server is part of HC RA.
