Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DNS Caching Server?
A DNS Caching Server stores recent DNS lookup results locally. When a request for a domain name is made, the server checks its cache first, providing a much faster response if the record is found, rather than querying external DNS servers.
What is the benefit of DNS caching for my business?
DNS caching significantly speeds up internet access and application performance by reducing the time it takes to resolve domain names to IP addresses. This leads to increased user productivity and a better overall experience.
Is this a hardware appliance or software license?
This is a software license subscription that enables DNS caching functionality on compatible Cisco PNR 11.X hardware platforms. It is not a standalone hardware device.
