Reduce network complexity

Eliminate the need for complicated forwarding rules and duplicate name records by controlling resolution pathways. DNS Edge finds the right pathway by attempting to resolve queries in a customer-defined sequence. DNS Edge can also route traffic directly to trusted services supporting “internet breakout”, bypassing costly MPLS lines.

Key Takeaways
  • DNS Edge enables network administrators to control DNS resolution pathways, reducing dependency on complex forwarding rules.
  • By centralizing resolution control, DNS Edge helps eliminate duplicate DNS name records across environments.
  • DNS Edge optimizes DNS query routing by resolving requests in a customer-defined sequence of targets.
  • Configurable resolution workflows in DNS Edge improve operational efficiency and simplify DNS policy management.
  • DNS Edge supports direct routing to trusted internet services (“internet breakout”), reducing reliance on costly MPLS connectivity.
