Configuring DNS Clientsubnets
Client subnets in Microsoft DNS, are named groups of IP subnets that allow DNS servers to provide more specific responses based on the client’s location or network segment. A client subnet is identified by a name and contains two lists of IP addresses: one for IPv4 subnets and one for IPv6 subnets. Client subnets can represent logical groups such as geographical areas, datacenters, or trusted resolver fleets. These client subnets can be used in DNS Query Resolution Policies(QRPs), and Response Rate Limiting Exception lists and many other DNS policies referring to the same client subnet.
Creating client subnets involves defining a named group of IP subnets. Here’s how to create client subnets in DDI Central:
