Hi Experts,
I have one CSS11501 acting as the load balancer. And all the servers are in private network behind it. We need to configure an authoritative dns server for this web domain. I want to use this CSS to be the dns server. I saw that there are some advance configuration notes about configuring dns server
I wonder if I only use a single server, what the configuration is needed? is there an example. Most of the documents have the example for multiple CSS in global server load balancing environment.
We currently only have standard feature license. I wonder if we have to purchase the 'enhanced feature set' to implement this function?
Only the command 'add dns xxx.xxx.com' under content rule could be used in the standard software. Is this sufficient enough to be as dns server?
Thanks for your help in advance.

DNS features come with a different license and so that you know it, we do not support those functions anymore.
The recommendation is to go for a GSS.
If you still plan to implement DNS on the CSS, simply follow the guide with multiple CSS, but only conifgure one.
This should work.

Thanks Gilles.
May I please ask if Web NS Enhanced - ( v. 8.2 ) - license support this DNS server feature? I couldn't find any documentation on v8.2 ? May I please check that the standard license doesn't support DNS server I have to get the enhaced version?
Thanks for your help!

licensing hasn't changed for the CSS in a long time.
So this old document still applies
The Enhanced feature set contains all components of the Standard feature set and also includes:
Network Address Translation (NAT) Peering
Domain Name Service (DNS)
Demand-Based Content Replication (Dynamic Hot Content Overflow)
Content Staging and Replication
Network Proximity DNS
Content Routing Agent
Client Side Accelerator
