DNS Server Association
The DNS Server Association is created under the DNS Server Associations object. The DNS Server Association object is used to associate and external DNS Server with an IP address the server can utilize to communicate with the IMG 2020. All the IP Addresses created as either a Service IP address or Media IP address will be displayed in the IP Address field and all the external DNS Servers configured will be displayed in the DNS Server field. Select which IP address will be used by the DNS Server to communicate with the IMG 2020.

When configuring IMG 2020 to execute DNS queries/lookups, the DNS Server Associations/Association objects link an external DNS Server to any IP address that was created as a Service or Media IP Address under the IP Address object. Configuring DNS on the IMG 2020 can get a bit involved. Refer to the Configure DNS topic for a procedure and explanations on configuring DNS.
