The CTERA Portal includes a built-in DNS server. This server automatically resolves the domain names of all the defined virtual portals, as well as names of devices using the remote access service. In order for this DNS server to work, you must register it using an NS (Name Server) record on your DNS server.
The procedure used for configuring the DNS for remote access depends on the whether you have purchased a dedicated domain (i.e. the DNS suffix includes only records for the CTERA Portal) or not (i.e. the DNS suffix includes records that are unrelated to the CTERA Portal).
If you have a dedicated domain
If you have a dedicated domain for the CTERA Portal, (i.e. a dedicated zone with no other servers other than the CTERA Portal), then the NS record can be created just once, in that zone.
For example, for a DNS suffix called storage.acme.com and two Tomcat portal servers with IPs 192.168.0.3 (master) and 192.168.0.4 (secondary), you would register:
A srv1.acme.com 192.168.0.3
A srv2.acme.com 192.168.0.4
Next, you would create an NS record for each server to the zone acme.com:
NS storage.acme.com srv1.acme.com
NS storage.acme.com srv2.acme.com
