How to configure PIX as DNS Client?
12-10-2004 03:39 PM
Unless I am missing something, I think you can only set up a local database to resolve names using the "names" command even though the purpose of "names" command is to easily remember ip addresses and other numbers...

Yeah, thisisshanky is absolutly right.
the PIX will not resolve DNS names as a client.
The feature "names" is more to visualise the access-list IP addresses to names, because they are easyer to read.

Why CISCO PIX can not resolve names?
Thanks for your help.

1.) Imagine 100'000 connections and the PIX would resolve all or a part of them. This would use more CPU time.
2.) If a Firewall resolves IP's then he would not be a hidden device any more, as he generates traffic.
Of course it would be nice in access-list to support dynamic IPs, but this is for now not supported.
