Procedure 5.16 Configuring a Caching-Only Server

1. Open the DNS console.

2. Right-click the server icon and select P

   ROPERTIES from the flyout menu. The Properties window opens.

3. Select the Root Hints tab.

4. Delete the TLD root servers from the list (if they are there) using the Remove button.

5. Click Add. The New Resource Record window opens with the Name Server (NS) tab showing.

6. Enter the FQDN of the master name server and its IP address. Click Add to add the IP address to the list. You can configure multiple name servers. They do not need to be in the same zone.

7. Click OK to save the entries and return to the Properties window.

8. Click OK to save the list and return to the DNS console.

9. Close the console.

Verify that the caching-only server works by pinging a remote server name from a client that is configured to use the server for DNS. Ping several host names to stock up the cache and then try the same names from another desktop. The response time should be much quicker.
