Title: using upstream dns server. The right way to do this?
Post by: hanscees on November 02, 2011, 01:55:42 PM

Hi,

my provider has major problems, but my users are complaining.

dns resolving from dnscache on my sme-server 751 dowes not work properly. The cause is that many of the dns requests that go to dns servers are blocked or at least are not answered.
 
As a temporary workaround I want my sme server to use the dns-server of my provider as resolver. Is there a way to do this right with sme?
I bet it is not just changing resolv.conf or its templates?
