Question

Can I reassign DNS for existing networks?

Environment

Cloud.net, all versions.

Answer

OnApp Resolvers are names given to computers located with institutional networks and are used to meet the user's request of a domain name. Resolvers work like DNS servers – they translate a hostname to an IP address, thus, linking your computer and the Internet's DNS infrastructure.

You should specify at least 2 resolvers for each network in OnApp. When a new VS is provisioned, these resolvers are injected into the resolver configuration automatically.

Create Resolver

To add a new resolver:

Go to your Control Panel > Admin > Settings menu.
Click the Resolvers icon.
On the screen that appears, click the Create Resolver button.
Specify resolver details:
- Address - the resolver IP address
- Network - the ID of the network to which this resolver should belong
Click Create Resolver.

Edit Resolver

To edit an existing resolver:

Go to your Control Panel > Admin > Settings menu.
Click the Resolvers icon.
Click the Actions icon next to the resolver you want to change, then click Edit to change the resolver's address and network.
Click Save Resolvers.

Delete Resolver

To delete an existing resolver:

Go to your Control Panel > Admin > Settings menu.
Click the Resolvers icon.
Click the Actions button next to the resolver you want to remove, then click Delete.
Confirm the deletion.
