Advanced Domain Name System features

DNS in iSeries™ Navigator provides an interface with advanced features for configuring and managing your DNS server.

The tasks in the subtopics are provided as shortcuts for administrators who are familiar with the i5/OS^® graphical interface. They provide fast methods for changing server status and attributes for multiple instances at once.

• Changing Domain Name System attributes
  If the DNS interface does not allow you to change all server instance autostart and debug levels at once, you can use the character-based interface to change these settings for individual DNS server instances, or for all instances at once.

• Starting or stopping Domain Name System servers
  If the Domain Name System (DNS) interface does not allow you to start or stop multiple server instances at once, you can use the character-based interface to change these settings for multiple instances at once.

• Changing debug values
  It is useful to change the debug level for administrators who have large zones and do not want the large amount of debug data collected when the server is first starting up and loading all of the zone data.
