101DNS proxy configuration exampleNetwork requirementsWhen the IP address of the DNS server changes, you must configure the new IP address of the DNSserver on each device on the LAN. To simplify network management, you can use the DNS proxyfunction.As shown in Figure 44:• Specify Device A as the DNS server of Device B (the DNS client). Device A acts as a DNS proxy.The IP address of the real DNS server is 4000::1.• Configure the IP address of the DNS proxy on Device B. DNS requests of Device B are forwardedto the real DNS server through the DNS proxy.Figure 44 Network diagramConfiguration procedureBefore performing the following configuration, make sure Device A, the DNS server, and the host arereachable to each other and the IP addresses of the interfaces are configured as shown in Figure 44.1. Configure the DNS server:This configuration might vary with DNS servers. When a PC running Windows Server 2003 actsas the DNS server, see "Dynamic domain name resolution configuration example" forconfiguration information.2. Configure the DNS proxy:# Specify the DNS server 4000::1. system-view[DeviceA] ipv6 dns server 4000::1# Enable DNS proxy.[DeviceA] dns proxy enable3. Configure the DNS client:# Specify the DNS server 2000::2. system-view[DeviceB] ipv6 dns server 2000::2
