Hi CheckMates

Do you know if ..

If I add (using the webgui) two DNS servers to a firewall running 77.30 - will it then use round robin by default or

always only use the first DNS server configured (and if it times out or cant resolve the name use the 2'nd) ?

Best regards

Keld Norman

As the clish commands say, primary and secondary DNS server, so the Primary will be used primarily and when it fails it will look at the next.
