Domain Name Resolution (Resolvers)
Telstra Internet Direct provides two resolvers or forwarding DNS servers, which are recursive, caching only nameservers. The purpose of this service is to improve the time it takes to perform a DNS lookup by caching the requested domain name information on the first request and to serve that information from the local cache for subsequent requests.
To use this service, configure your DNS settings with the nameserver addresses in the table below:
| 203.50.2.71 |
2001:8000:101::1 |
| 139.130.4.4 |
2001:8000:101::2 |
Please consult the configuration information relevant to your system, as the specific command will vary across software environments.
Primary Domain Name System (DNS) Server
Telstra Internet Direct can host a DNS domain for you. This service is available to customers who do not wish to host their domain on their own DNS server and allows for the flexible administration of their domain. For more information or to configure a domain enter CustData (available to customers only).
Secondary Domain Name System (DNS)
Telstra Internet Direct can act as a secondary or slave host for a customer’s domain. This service will mirror the domain information on the domain’s primary host.
