Configuring Your DNS Server for DNS Routing
DNS routing is one way to prevent employees from directly connecting to IM networks for which the Server is a proxy. It involves the following actions:
- Blocking destinations at the firewall that IM clients could use to connect directly to the IM network server. For a list of the destinations to block, please contact FaceTime Customer Support.
- Configuring your DNS server to resolve the default domain names for the IM network server to the IP address for the Server. This section describes how to do this configuration.
To configure your DNS server for DNS routing:
- On the Windows Start menu, select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DNS. The DNS window appears (see Figure 1-65).
- Right-click Forward Lookup Zones, and then click New Zone. The Zone Type window appears (see Figure 1-66).
- Select Standard primary, and then click Next.
