How DNS reduces network complexity

Intelligent Networking eliminates the need for complicated forwarding rules and duplicate name records by controlling resolution pathways through DNS.

Key Takeaways
  • Controlling DNS resolution pathways reduces reliance on complex forwarding rules and duplicate name records.
  • Intelligent Networking enforces a customer-defined sequence for query resolution to optimize routing paths.
  • Query traffic can be directed to specific trusted services based on configurable resolution policies.
  • Intelligent Networking supports internet breakout by routing traffic directly to external services without backhauling.
  • By enabling internet breakout, organizations can reduce dependence on expensive MPLS circuits for certain traffic flows.

Network administrators can eliminate the need for complicated forwarding rules and duplicate name records by controlling resolution pathways.  Intelligent Networking optimizes routing pathways by attempting to resolve queries in a customer-defined sequence.  Intelligent Networking can also route traffic directly to trusted services supporting “internet breakout”, bypassing costly MPLS lines.
