DNSHostEntry Table

Description

This table allows you to configure a DNS Host.

Guidelines

The following values may be configured for a DNS Host.

The HostName can be a URL like www.yahoo.com, or any other legal host name that you wish to associate with a static IP address. See RFC 952 for a definition of legal host names.
The IPAddress is the address that you want to associate with a HostName. More than one IP address may be entered for a HostName. For example, in the case of a URL like www.yahoo.com, multiple IP addresses can be defined so that there is load sharing among several servers. You also have the option of assigning a port number.
The Priority indicates the order in which the host names will be stored internally. The lower the number, the higher the priority.
