When using the NetMAX as a Domain Name Server and the clients need to find names outside of the domains that the NetMAX serves, you must configure alternate domain name servers. Go to Network|DNS and add the domain name servers provided by your ISP. If your ISP does not provide any domain name servers, you may check the "Use the Internic" box. We strongly recommend that you do not do this, however. Usage of the Internic as a DNS server is quite slow, compared with using your ISP's DNS server. In addition, excess traffic to the root servers can conceivably slow the entire internet down. This possible consequence is one we would like to avoid.
