splitdns.config

The splitdns.config file enables you to specify the DNS server that Content Gateway should use for resolving hosts under specific conditions.

To specify a DNS server, you must supply the following information in each active line within the file:

  • A primary destination specifier in the form of a destination domain, a destination host, or a URL regular expression
  • A set of server directives, listing one or more DNS servers with corresponding port numbers

You can also include the following optional information with each DNS server specification:

  • A default domain for resolving hosts
  • A search list specifying the domain search order when multiple domains are specified

For more information, see Using the Split DNS option.

Note:

After you modify this file, restart the proxy or run the following command from the Content Gateway bin directory (/opt/WCG/bin) to apply the changes:

content_line -x

When you apply the changes to a node in a cluster, Content Gateway applies the changes to all nodes in the cluster.
