I've been having (another) play with the "Conditional DNS forwarding" a.k.a Transparent DNS Proxy. I've really not grasped the concept of how it's supposed to be configured - and the manual and online docs. are just confusing the issue at the moment.
In one breathe, it seems to be suggesting you use it to modify individual lookups ... similar to adding entries to a 'hosts' file. But, it also suggests that the DNS lookup gets 'forwarded' elsewhere. Is that as well, or instead? ... and what happens if that DNS Server passes the request to the outside world? (via the Vigor) ... does it get intercepted again and looped around? :?
Same here. I can see it working if you were running a genuine DNS that could resolve internally, but if you need to forward a request up-stream, why wouldn't that get looped back.. and back...
Been a bit lazy and haven't tested that yet.
I don't find Draytek manuals terribly helpful. I accept the following is not entirely correct, but they do rather follow the model:
"Conditional DNS forwarding". If you tick this box it enables Conditional DNS forwarding.
Thank you. I am none the wiser.
But to be fair, they're not intended to be training manuals.
