This specifies a DNS server’s IP address. The NXC can query the DNS

#
This is the index number of the domain zone forwarder record. The
ordering of your rules is important as rules are applied in sequence.
A hyphen (-) displays for the default domain zone forwarder record.
The default record is not configurable. The NXC uses this default record
if the domain zone that needs to be resolved does not match any of the
other domain zone forwarder records.
Domain Zone
A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host. For
example, zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw
fully qualified domain name.
A “*” means all domain zones.
Type
This displays whether the DNS server IP address is assigned by the ISP
dynamically through a specified interface or configured manually
(User-Defined).
DNS Server
This is the IP address of a DNS server. This field displays N/A if you
have the NXC get a DNS server IP address from the ISP dynamically
but the specified interface is not active.
Query Via
This is the interface through which the NXC sends DNS queries to the
entry’s DNS server.
