External IP address - Name Resolution
Previous  Top  Next


Resolve external addresses using NetBIOS:

If checked, Kiwi Syslog Daemon will attempt to resolve the external IP address using NetBIOS.

Resolve external addresses using DNS server:

If checked, Kiwi Syslog Daemon will attempt to resolve the external IP address by sending a DNS query to a DNS server.

Preferred/Alternate external DNS server addresses:

These entries determine which external network address the DNS query will be sent to.
By default these addresses are auto-detected by Kiwi Syslog Daemon, and depending on your network configuration may need to be altered.

If the preferred DNS server is unavailable or cannot service the request, the same query will be asked of the alternate DNS server.
If no alternate DNS server is available, then this address is to be left blank.
