DNS on Windows Server 2003, 3rd Edition

Server Properties

You can view the server properties by selecting a server on the left and choosing Action → Properties. It has seven tabs:

Interfaces

This window allows you to specify the interfaces on which the server will listen for queries. If you have multiple interfaces (as for virtual web hosting), you might not need them all to be listed here. The default behavior is for the server to listen on all interfaces. The window is shown in Figure 4-34.

These tabs are all covered in Chapter 11.
