Introduction
You can configure a VMware NSX edge to relay name resolution requests from clients to external DNS servers. Once configured VMware NSX Edge Services Gateway (ESG) will forward name resolution request from clients to an external DNS Server. An ESG will relay client application requests to the DNS servers to fully resolve a network name and cache the response from the servers
In this blog, I will show you how to configure the DNS servers on the NSX edge.
Log in to the vSphere Web Client. Click Networking & Security
Click NSX Edges. Double-click on NSX Edge.
Click on Configuration –> DNS Configuration
Click Enable DNS Service to enable the DNS service. Type the IP Address of External DNS Server. Configure “Cache Size” and “Enable Logging” in case required
Post configuration NSX edge will relay the name resolution requests for any VM’s traffic that flow through it, to the configured external DNS servers.
