Internal DNS Latency Remidiation

Hi All,

 

need your inputs on how we can route External User Traffic to Public DNS.

Hi

Why just not set 8.8.8.8 as primary DNS server at client level? Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Hi @imuscleupcarat,

 

You can configure DNS conditional forwarder. All users use FortiGate as DNS server. FortiGate will forward DNS queries for internal domain names to internal DNS servers. DNS queries for public domains will go DNS servers specified under Network > DNS. https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-DNS-conditional-forwarding/ta-p/196821

Hi Hbac thank you for this.

 

However From the guide link you have provided I think this will only work if there is one DNS server set that is public right?

 

For my client's scenario Primary and Secondary DNS is configured and they last time we discussed they wont be changing any DNS config to a public one.
