Procedure - Set the Default DNS Servers

- Click on the submenu if it is not already expanded.
- Click on the ◊ Overview item.
- You should now be looking at the DNS Management controls in the main content area.
- Locate the Default DNS Servers section.
- Enter the new Primary DNS server in the Primary DNS field.
- Enter the new Secondary DNS server in the Secondary DNS field.
- If you wish to add a tertiary DNS server, enter the name of the tertiary DNS sever in the Tertiary DNS field.
- Click the button.
- You will see the following message at the top of the screen: » Settings updated successfully.
| The tertiary DNS server is optional and used only if the primary and secondary nameservers fail. |
| Nameserves specified here MUST be registered nameservers (e.g. ns1.mycompany.com and ns2.mycompany.com) NOT just an IP Address. |
| You DO NOT need to specify the IP address of the nameserver here. InterWorx does not need that information. |
