Backup DNS?
« on: May 03, 2011, 05:31:39 AM »
I periodically have my ISP's DNS go out.  I actually prefer to use the default DNS they provide (and not hard-code it), but still, it occasionally goes-out for an hour from time-to-time.

Is there a way on the DIR-825 to add a "backup" DNS (3rd DNS), that is fed to the PeeCees via DHCP, in addition to the 2 my ISP provides?

Theres only 2 entries that you are able to use, Primary and 2ndary. Now you possibly could put in the ISP DNS for Primary then use a non-ISP DNS address in the 2ndary.

As I feared.  Guess I'll double-check and make sure DNS-relay is off, and see if Windoze allows adding a backup DNS under "Advanced", will still pulling-in the 2 ISP DNS entries from the DIR-825...
