Per-VDOM DNS configuration
In FortiOS 4.0 MR1, you can optionally define separate DNS servers for each non-
management VDOM. The management VDOM always uses the global DNS servers.
You configure the global DNS servers using the CLI command config system dns.
The VDOM-level configuration is similar:
config vdom
edit <vdom_name>
config system vdom-dns
set vdom-dns {enable | disable}
set primary <dns_ipv4>
set secondary <dns_ip4>
set ip6-primary <dns_ip6>
set ip6-secondary <dns_ip6>
end
end
Variable Description Default
edit <interface_name> Enter the name of the interface to configure. No default.
dns-query {recursive |
non-recursive | disable}
disable — Disable DNS.
non-recursive — Look up domain name
in local database. Do not relay the request to
the DNS server configured for the FortiGate
